System Of A Down's John Dolmayan claims he enjoys Trump as President

In a recent interview with Australian YouTuber Lilian Tahmasian, System Of A Down drummer John Dolmayan expressed his enjoyment that Donald Trump is back in the White House.

During the interview Dolmayan shared:

First of all, being liberal, most of the time, is for the idealistic thinkers. We all believe in liberal concepts. I believe in a lot of liberal concepts. I believe in social concepts as well. I don't want people to starve to death, I want people to have homes. But I also believe in self-sacrifice, and hard work will get you to where you wanna be. And I don't wanna subsidize somebody that is lazy or doesn't wanna pursue something because I worked very hard to get to where I am. Whether I had been successful or not, I was going to work extremely hard on whatever I did. So, there's a balance there.

We live in societies. What's the benefit of that? It's that we can help people through a collective effort," he continued. "So it doesn't cost you much, you much, you much — we've all gotta help. So that you can assist someone that otherwise maybe they've had horrible things happen to them and you can give them that helping hand. If someone's drowning, you don't say, 'Well, you should have learned how to swim better.' You give them a hand to get them out of the water so they don't drown. So, as a society, I believe that's what we should do. Now, what happened is it went off a little off kilter. It went off the deep end.

I don't believe in the 'woke' culture at all. It's no secret what my belief system is. And I also don't think having lifelong career politicians is good for society.

Here in the United States, it's a constitutional republic. And we have people that are in Congress and the Senate, and the objective in the beginning of that was you would have a farmer, and a couple of months a year they would go and they would figure out what the government is gonna do and then they would go back to farming. And some of 'em were engineers and some of 'em were lawyers and some of 'em were doctors and business owners and it was a big mix — engineers, all these different people who had different life experiences. And they would go and they would dictate what the government did. Now we have people who go to law school and then they become an aide, and they'd say, 'Well, should I go this, that? I'll go this way and I'll go this way.' And then they spend the next 40 years of their lives toeing the company line. And then both of them take money from special interest groups. So it's like a diamond. It goes from the indoctrination that they get in college or university — depending on where they went, it's different indoctrination — and then they pick a side, Democrat or Republican, and then they all take money from the same pool.

I'm glad he won, because it brings a little sanity back. Irrespective of what you hear out there, it's much more sane with him than it was without him.

We need law and order. Just like you lock your door at night, you don't want somebody coming to your house when you have secure borders. We need people coming to this country. We all came to this country. And we need more people coming in. And the United States should always be a bastion for people that need it. Maybe they get oppression one way or the other in their countries and they need to leave. Or maybe they just want a fresh start. Or maybe they wanna be part of something that's unique and interesting like the United States. And they should be allowed to do that, but do it a certain way — pay taxes, whatever you need to do, and live your life.
