Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland has once again made his political stance crystal clear, doubling down on his criticism of Donald Trump and his supporters while marking his 51st birthday over the weekend.
The backlash began after Borland shared an Instagram Story urging Trump supporters to unfollow him, a post that quickly spread beyond his account and reignited long running debate around the guitarist’s outspoken views.
Borland wrote (per Lamb Goat):
“If any of my followers voted or support Trump or are still friends with anyone who supports the Trump administration you’re out. F*ck you. Never contact me again.”
Borland’s opposition to Trump isn’t new, he has been openly critical of the former and current US president since at least 2016, often using social media to air frustrations with American politics, policing, and culture wars surrounding the music industry.
Returning to Instagram on February 6th for his birthday, Borland expanded on his position, taking aim not only at Trump and ICE, but also at the Democratic Party, which he accused of lacking leadership.
“I guess if you’re mad at me say whatever you want to here. I just want everyone to be happy Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE. Democrats are without leadership except Bernie. Love AOC. So call me a Libtard here. Hail Satan. It’s also my birthday so you can wish me a happy birthday if you want.”
The post drew predictable reactions across the political spectrum, with supporters applauding Borland’s bluntness and critics accusing him of alienating fans.
Borland later addressed the backlash directly, pushing back on the idea that musicians should remain silent on political issues.
“Y’all hating me for not wanting hatred in the world is wild. Fine, keep voting against your best interests and telling me: stick to playing guitar. Never heard that one before.”
He closed the sequence with one of his most pointed remarks yet:
“It’s like you’re devil worshippers but not cool ones.”
For longtime Limp Bizkit fans, Borland’s comments fit neatly into a career defined by confrontation, provocation, and a refusal to soften his views for mass approval. Love it or loathe it, Borland remains uninterested in playing neutral.
