Bono and U2 deliver scorching musical takedown of Trump

..."The Republican nominee for president appeared on a massive screen, in footage from a campaign speech, declaring “I’m really rich.”

Bono assured the Trump projection that he was very glad for him, but asked “Candidate, what’s your vision for this great nation?” (Throughout the scene, Bono did not refer to Trump by name.)
He continued with the unusual political performance art as his bandmates played in the background, and the Trump projection talked about his plans to build border wall and have Mexico pay for it.

“Good people are not going to stay silent while you run off with the American dream!” Bono continued.
“All right, candidate?”
“You’re fired!”
Bono also recited a few lines from the Emma Lazarus sonnet that appears on the base of the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor / your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
