Demi Lovato debuted a new anti-Trump anthem “Commander in Chief” online Wednesday morning that criticized the president’s voter suppression efforts and violent response to protests against racial inequality and police brutality.
The song opens by saying Trump acts “selfishly”:
The lyrics address President Trump directly and call out his lies, opening with:
Were you ever taught when you were young
If you mess with things selfishly, they’re bound to come undone?
I’m not the only one
That’s been affected and resented every story you’ve spun, and I’m a lucky one
Later in the chorus, she references an unspecified nationwide crisis, which could be the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and/or the racial inequality and police brutality that protestors continue to fight.
