The Detroit-native freestyled for nearly five minutes and blasted Trump in almost every lyric. During the song, he called the politician a “racist grandpa,” “stingy,” and several other expletives, taking jabs at his entire presidency.
“But we better give Obama props/ because what we got in office now is kamikaze/ that will probably cause a nuclear holocaust,” he said.
The 44-year-old didn’t stop there. He also criticized Trump’s reaction to Puerto Rico during the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, his comments about the Charlottesville violence and his response to NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.
He didn’t let his fans who were Trump supporters off the hook either.
“And any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his/I’m drawing in the sand a line/You’re either for or against/And if you can’t decide who you like more in your split/ Or who you should stand beside/I’ll do it for you,” he said.
By the time he finished delivering his NSFW bars, people had already taken to social media to post their reactions.
Many tweeps enjoyed the lyrics, thanking and praising the artist for condemning the president.

Then there were some who did not apprecitate Eminem’s bars as much by calling out his other offensive lyrics, some of which disrepected women.

It's hypocritical for him to weigh in on someone's words when you made millions degrading women, promoting violence and such.
