Last week Donald Trump announced that he would be visiting the UK on Friday July 13th and we Brits weren't about to let this happen without throwing a spanner in the works.



One dude came up with the best way to protest Trump's upcoming visit and it involves his favourite band. The unnamed guy has decided to start a campaign to have Green Day's 2004 hit song ‘American Idiot’ at number one in the charts to coincide with Trump’s UK visit.



This is what he posted to Facebook:

 

We have a date, he’s coming Friday 13th July… so if we ALL buy enough downloads of Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’ between Friday 6th-Thursday 12th it will time PERFECTLY to hit No.1 the very day he arrives on UK soil! Streaming counts too but less effective. Let’s do this!

The campaign is picking up so much traction that even Green Day's lead singer Billie Joe posted about it on his Instagram account, which he later deleted. Maybe his agent was like "Billie, take that shit down bruh," but at least we know he's backing it. Here's a reminder of what a bloody good song American Idiot is:



Let's make this happen guys!Get downloading and let's make Trump look like a right muggy cunt.
