Grammy-winning singer Rod Stewart recently expressed in an interview with Radio Times that he can no longer be friends with President Donald Trump due to the administration’s support for the brutal Israeli military campaign in Gaza. Stewart criticized Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu for their roles in the ongoing conflict.
Stewart, who used to socialize with Trump and live near his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, now distances himself from the former president. He has been vocal about his disapproval of Trump’s actions, including calling him a “prick” in 2020 and mocking him on stage for various controversial statements.
In addition to his music career, Stewart is politically active and has shown support for causes he believes in. He covered expenses for children with disabilities to protest a GOP health care bill in 2017 and continues to use his platform to speak out on important issues.
Stewart’s stance on political matters reflects his passion for making a positive impact, as he emphasized in a statement that he is neither a Democrat nor a Republican but a father who feels compelled to act for the well-being of children.
The singer’s strong opinions and actions demonstrate his commitment to using his voice for change and standing up for what he believes is right.
