After taking a break from discussing politics on his show True News, Russell Brand returned just in time to comment on the fact that Donald Trump won the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. Rather than bash the President-elect and some of the hateful statements he’s made in the past, Brand listed reasons why why many likely voted for the business tycoon.

In addition, a continued regime of the Obama Administration with Hillary Clinton would have undoubtedly led to more war in the Middle East.

I think you’ve just realised that your politics has been misguided all this time, Russell. It’s not liberalism, it’s neoliberalism that people are sick of. Politicians who say good things tend to do bad things and people are now judging people on their actions, not false promises. Trump has entered in to a 100 day “contract”, which doesn’t give much wriggle room. What makes you sure that Trump won’t bring the change that you speak of?
