In the video, Eminem says, So Reading, "I'm not about to stand up here and use this f*ckin' stage for some kind of a platform to be all political and sh*t, and I don't want to cause any controversy so I won't say no names -- but this motherf**ker Donald Trump I can't stand!"

The audience then cheer and start chanting "F*ck Donald Trump.” Eminem tells his fans, "When I say 'f*ck', you say 'Trump'!"

This continues for a while, following which the musician says, “Cause he's got our country f*cked up in America," and then segued into "White America".

Is the video recent?

The news was covered towards the end of August 2017. Take a look:

Billboard covered the news on August 28, 2017

Independent covered the news on August 29, 2017

The video was also fact-checked by X, with a note reading, “This clip is from 2017, the post is structured in a way that makes it seem recent.”

Emimen made his dislike for Trump known during his shows. In 2017, he slammed Trump during a show in Glasgow, where he was seen wearing a shirt that read “FACK TRUMP.”

Eminem even released an eight-minute anti-Trump track titled ‘Campaign Speech.’ Some of the lines include, "A f*ckin' loose cannon who's blunt with his hand on the button/ Who doesn't have to answer to no one—great idea!"
