When asked how he felt about Brexit, Rotten replied, “Where do I stand on Brexit? Well, here it goes. The working class have spoke, and I’m one of them and I’m with them.” Rotten, a U.S. citizen, had some thoughts on Donald Trump as well, saying, “What I dislike is the left-wing media in America are trying to smear the bloke as a racist and that’s completely not true. There’s many, many problems with him as a human being, but he’s not that.” Rotten even went so far as to call Trump “a possible friend.” Piers Morgan was quick to point out that both the Sex Pistols and Donald Trump are antiestablishment figures.
