Speaking at Toronto film festival, John thanks Trump for support but does not endorse either candidate for November’s US election
Elton John has praised Donald Trump’s “hilarious” use of John’s hit Rocket Man as a nickname for North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
, Trump ended up explaining the meaning of the nickname to Kim, who was not familiar with Elton John.over the weekend, John said of the nickname: “I laughed, I thought that was brilliant. I just thought, ‘Good on you, Donald.’ Donald’s always been a fan of mine, and he’s been to my concerts many, many times. So, I mean, I’ve always been friendly toward him, and I thank him for his support. When he did that, I just thought it was hilarious. It made me laugh.
Asked about the coming US presidential election, John did not endorse either candidate, saying: “It’s none of my business how vote … I just hope that people make the right decision to see what the future is going to be. Is it going to be fire and brimstone … or are we going to have a much calmer, a much safer place?
He also alluded to the election at that press conference, but again did not side with Trump or Harris, saying: “Kindness will always win out … that’s what I hope for the American election in November.”
