From Breitbart: Rocker Billie Joe Armstrong held up what appeared to be a rubber head of former President Donald Trump and threw it into the crowd during a Green Day concert on Monday — less than a month after the assassination attempt on Trump.
Green Day was appearing at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. as part of the band’s current tour when Billie Joe Armstrong pulled his stunt while performing “Jesus of Suburbia.” The rubber head had the word “Idiot” written on the forehead.
Armstrong held the prop head by the top, as if it were a decapitated head, before hurling it with great fanfare into the audience. The fans cheered their approval.

Monday’s stunt by Billie Joe Armstrong mirrors Kathy Griffin’s infamous 2017 photo holding a bloodied prop head of Trump. Armstrong’s act also follows an attempted assassination of Trump at a Pennsylvania rally, where Trump was narrowly missed, with the bullet grazing his right ear.
Armstrong, known for expressing his left-wing views during Green Day concerts, made headlines in 2022 by shouting “fuck America” and renouncing his citizenship after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Earlier this year, he called Trump supporters “rednecks” during a performance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. In a recent interview, he criticized those opposing transgender content in schools as “fucking close-minded.”
Green Day had a concert here in DC last night.
They decided it’d be a good idea to hold up a severed Trump head.
Just TWO WEEKS after he was sh*t in the head.
