Sir Elton John just spilled the beans—scratch that, spilled the entire casserole—about Donald Trump’s nickname game for North Korea’s own Kim Jong-Un, and oh yes, the wild rollercoaster that is the 2024 presidential election.
So, in case you’ve been living under a rock the size of a piano, Donald Trump once dubbed Kim Jong-Un “Little Rocket Man,” a remix of Elton’s chart-topper Rocket Man. Yes, guys, the former U.S. president apparently moonlights as a DJ of diplomacy—spinning tunes and insults all in one go. 🎶🎧
While shaking his bedazzled cape at the Toronto International Film Festival, Elton finally let the world in on his thoughts. Was he offended? Did he launch into a rage-filled ballad? Nope. Elton laughed so hard, he nearly choked on his feather boa.
“I laughed, I thought it was brilliant,” Elton chuckled, probably still holding his sequined stomach from the giggles. “I just thought, ‘Good on you, Donald!’” Imagine Elton, lounging on a velvet sofa, sipping tea (British, of course), and saying, “That’s some high-quality trolling, Donald. A+ on sass!”
But wait—does this mean Elton is Team Donald in the 2024 election? Is he going to start selling “Rocket Man for President” t-shirts on tour?
Not so fast, glitter enthusiasts! Elton’s not here for your political drama. He’s here to entertain, not run a polling station! 🗳️🎤 “I don’t go on stage and say, ‘Vote for Republicans! Vote for Democrats!’” Elton clarified, probably while tossing sparkles into the air. “That’s not what the people are paying for! They want the music, the glam, the ‘Tiny Dancer’ magic, not a lesson in politics!”
But don’t think Sir Elton’s completely sitting this one out. Oh no! He pulled a classic “wise wizard of the stage” moment by casually reminding everyone, “America’s a little bit of a dumpster fire right now,” in the classiest British way possible, of course. 🌋💥
Cue former Vice President Dick Cheney, who threw a curveball endorsement of Kamala Harris into this electoral circus. Cheney, a Republican like Donald, crossing over? It’s like when Elton surprised everyone by playing a rap song at his concert—unexpected, yet somehow fabulous.
Elton left us with a heartfelt (and slightly glittery) plea: “Vote for love, vote for justice, vote for people’s right to be who they are. And if you’re going to vote for something, make sure it’s not a one-way ticket to fire and brimstone,” he said, probably while making the world’s most dramatic exit, stage left.
And as the sparkles settled, Elton dropped the final gem: “America, sweetie, I love you, but you’ve lost your love mojo over the last 12 years. Let’s bring it back! Bring back the love, the glitter, and the peace!”
Elton John, laughing, loving, and serving up some glitter-coated truth bombs. Whether you vote red, blue, or fabulous, just remember: Rocket Man’s rooting for love. 🌈✨
