Jack Black has said he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked an outcry with a comment about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

The comedy rock group were on stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Gass was asked to make a wish after being presented with a cake for his 64th birthday.

He appeared to reply: “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

Gass also split with his agent following the incident.

    Disliking someone less is not the same as liking them.

    “it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.” - Douglas Adams

      I happen to agree with Mr. Adams here, but again I must refute the idea that nobody likes politicians.

      Hell trump has a fucking cult, they clearly like him and he is a politician, ipso facto some people like some politicians. They exist, it is an undisputable fact frankly.

        Oh, across the broader population you’re absolutely correct. In that initial comment, I was referring to the users here on lemmy. Sorry, “we” can be rather ambiguous.
