Billie Joe Armstrong, of Green Day fame, has spoken out about Donald Trump's recent victory in the American presidential election. 

He told Chris Moyles on Radio X that he was completely shocked by the result and couldn't believe that his country voted Trump in:

“I went to bed and everyone kinda thought the correct side was going to win. Then at 6am I wake up choking – like this is kinda gross, like when you inhale spit – so I’m thinking ‘Oh my god why am I coughing?' And of course the first thing I do is think ‘I’ll check and see what happened'."

"So I go to my phone and I look and I have 50 messages. And I was like ‘this is not good’. ‘Cause usually I get four every day. All my friends and family were freaked out because they just elected a fascist into the White House for the first time in American history. It’s all sinking in right now.”

He went onto add that Trump “could be a puppet for the [Illuminati’s] own agenda, which is even scarier. But I’m not going to go down the scary mode right now because it’s early in the morning."
