Rod Stewart reveals the reason why his friendship is made:
The Grammy winning singer, Rod Stewart, says that he can no longer be a friend of President Donald Trump, citing the continuous support of his administration to the brutal Israeli military campaign in Gaza who has killed more than 55,000 Palestinians since October 2023 according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
Stewart recently sat down for an interview with Radio Times to promote his next set at the Glastonbury Festival, just to destroy Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, after they ask if Trump still considers Trump to a friend.
“No, I can’t anymore,” Stewart told The Outlet. “While selling weapons to the Israelis, and still is. How will that war be stopped? And we should stop selling them too.
“What damn difference will make?” The singer continued. “Someone has to do something. What Netanyahu is doing to the Palestinians is exactly what happened to the Jews. It is annihilation, and that is all he wants to do: get rid of them.”
“I don’t know how they sleep at night,” Stewart added.
This is not the first time that Stewart criticized Trump. According to the reports, the Roca icon said before the 2016 elections that he did not believe that Trump was “presidential”, he called him a “prick” in 2020 for withdrawing from the climate agreements of Paris and ridiculed him on stage last year.
However, Stewart used to socialize frequently with the old real estate tycoon. The rock icon explained during his interview on Tuesday that he lives “literally half mile” of the Trump Mar-Alago resort in Florida, and once “he knew him very, very well.”

“He used to go to his Christmas parties,” Stewart told Radio Times. “He has always been a man with a man.
“Someone who didn’t know,” he reflected.
The singer mocked Trump last year during a Las Vegas concert before the 2024 elections for “Gurning Orange”, since Trump said that the then democratic candidate, former vice president Kamala Harris, “became black” before announcing his career.
Stewart is an enthusiastic railway model at home, but also politically active in his free time.
In 2017, he covered all the necessary expenses for a group of children with disabilities, whose parents could not raise enough money to travel to Washington, DC, to protest a Republican medical care invoice that included cuts proposed to Medicaid.
