Lady Gaga: "Some people want to win races. Other people want to be president of the United States.."

http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_580b897ee4b000d0b1570bcc

“I have nothing to say of him,”


When pressed about why Trump’s rhetoric resonates with so many Americans across the country, Gaga broke down how the Republican nominee’s campaign is fueled by empty promises and fearmongering without once mentioning his name.

I think what is most important is for us to try to decipher now what is real and what is not. And what is honest and what is dishonest and be accepting of those things and not operating from fear.”


When asked why Clinton would do a better job than Trump ― how long do you have, BBC?! ― an increasingly bored-looking Gaga responded, after a long silence:

I think she will do a good job. Some people want to win races. Other people want to be president of the United States and change people’s lives. It’s about the intention.

...but didn't seem interested in presenting herself as any kind of political authority. A lot of artists can get in real hot water when they do.

Gaga has been good about staying out of the fray. She is passionate about a number of social issues but I haven't heard speak as an expert witness. I agree it is nice to see a smart celebrity.
