Guns N Roses Invited Mexican Fans to Beat a Donald Trump Pinata
Guns N’ Roses Invited Mexican Fans to Beat a Donald Trump Pinata

Guns N’ Roses‘ concert in Mexico City last night included a special guest … sort of. The band brought out a Donald Trump pinata onstage for fans to whack.
The show was the last in the group’s Latin America leg of its Not in This Lifetime Tour, so the band was in a somewhat playful mood. It didn’t hurt that the pinata gave many frustrated Mexican fans the opportunity to smack around one of the most reviled men in that region.
“Let’s bring in some people,” Axl Rose says in a video filmed by fans. “And give them a f—ing stick. I just want you to express yourself, however you feel.” After a fan starts to hit the pinata, Rose says, “He’s got it. Go ahead.”
You can watch the video above.
It’s no surprise Mexican fans were more than eager to beat the hell out of a Trump pinata. One of the president-elect’s biggest campaign points was his construction of a giant wall between Mexico and the United States to prevent illegal immigrants from entering. Trump also promised he would make Mexico pay for the wall.
