Rock faces Donald Trump

Rock faces Donald Trump

A few kilometers from the debate for the presidency of the most important country in the world, in the desert of California, the candidate for the White House, Donald Trump was summoned by a great rock star before thousands of people and with the imposing music of Pink Floyd. The message: "Trump, you are a pig".

Roger Waters used his concert on the album The Wall to make a devastating claim against the Republican candidate.

Waters was the latest issue of the Deser Trip festival, a major unprecedented gathering of the brightest stars of rock's golden age. In just three days they were on stage Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Neil Young.

All these mythical names performed full versions of their current shows for a gray-haired audience where those under 40 were a minority in much more than a concert. It was a memorable and mesmerizing show.

Waters had already announced in different interviews that the montage, among other things, would be a forceful protest action against injustice. Let us remember that a week before this impressive concert, Waters had already performed a concert in the Zócalo of Mexico City, right in front of the headquarters of the Mexican Presidency, explicitly requesting the resignation of the President of Mexico.

It was not only the voice, the message, but Donald Trump's face appeared on the screens while the song Pigs was playing. A montage showed him vomiting in a stream. In another image, he had the body of a pig. Meanwhile, on the screens some of the most absurd phrases of the candidate in this campaign were happening.

But there was more, while "Another brick in the wall" sounded  a huge inflatable pig was flying over the audience with Trump's face and the word "pig", as well as "ignorant, liar, racist, sexist" and the phrase "fuck Trump and his wall."
