Brian Eno clarifies recent quote: 'Donald Trump will reveal his true self'

Music legend Brian Eno has clarified comments he made in a recent interview with Britain's Guardian newspaper, in which he was quoted as saying he was "pleased" about President Donald Trump's recent election win. 

He took to Facebook this week and explained that he does not support Trump and believes him to be "a complete disaster', but, like several other celebrities such as Madonna have said, he hopes this shocking result will inspire people to actively reject him from the White House:

"May I make something absolutely clear: I think Donald Trump is a complete disaster. And Brexit is a disaster too. That said, what I think is an even greater disaster is that we in the US and the UK – and increasingly the rest of the world – live inside political systems that can produce absurd results like these.”

“My hope – the only hope really – is that Trump in office will reveal himself for what he really is, and that the public will roundly and unequivocally reject him and everything he stands for – his terrible policies, his jingoism, his arrogance, his childishness, his lies, his prejudices and his small-mindedness. In rejecting Trump we’ll also start to take down the whole malignant media-political structure that so lovingly nurtured him.”
