Looks like Jack Black\u2019s mouth got him into hot water \u2013 and lost him a pretty penny! The actor\u2019s anti-Trump comments have tanked his concert ticket sales, leaving him $15 million in the red. Who knew being a Trump critic could be so costly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jack Black, beloved actor and frontman of Tenacious D has taken a financial hit to the tune of nearly $15 million. And why? All because of a controversial comment made by his bandmate, Kyle Gass, about Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Sydney concert, a shocking remark was made by Kyle Gass, who wished that some future assassin wouldn\u2019t have to miss his target on Trump. Boy, oh boy! And as expected, this led to an outrage among the fans and reduced ticket sales at once. Poor Jack had to cancel the rest of his tour and disassociate himself from the explosive comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This tirade of blacks against Trump was supposed to be a mic-drop moment, but it turned out to be a flop of epic proportions. Perhaps next time, he will think twice before opening his mouth wide enough for foot insertion. They say \u201cLoose lips sink ships\u201d\u2013and band tours, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But let\u2019s face it, Black\u2019s comments were hardly revolutionary. Criticizing Trump in Hollywood is like wearing something trendy on the red carpet. It\u2019s a sure bet, but not exactly new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite all this, his fans have penalized him for that one statement. Why? Nowadays, you can pay heavily for speaking your mind in such politically divided environments like ours today unless you are Kardashian, who can say whatever you want and still get paid millions of dollars even if it is absolute nonsense or off-topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All joking aside, it\u2019s clear that Black underestimated the power of Trump\u2019s base. They may not be the most discerning crowd, but they\u2019re loyal \u2013 and they won\u2019t hesitate to boycott a celebrity who dissents from their so-called dear leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, will Black bounce back from this financial fiasco? Only time will tell. But one thing\u2019s for sure \u2013 he won\u2019t be winning any fans among Trump supporters anytime soon. That ship has sailed \u2013 and sunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meantime, Trump\u2019s probably tweeting about this, saying something like, \u201cJack Black\u2019s failing concert tour is a total disaster \u2013 just like his career! Sad!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ouch, that\u2019s gotta hurt. Guess you could say Black\u2019s comments were a major faux pas. Looks like he won\u2019t be winning any awards for \u201cMost Diplomatic\u201d anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, at least Black can take comfort in knowing he\u2019s not alone. There\u2019s a whole club of celebrities who\u2019ve suffered the wrath of Trump\u2019s base \u2013 just ask Colin Kaepernick or Kathy Griffin about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for Jack Black, let\u2019s hope this rocky chapter doesn\u2019t keep him down for long. In the grand theater of American politics, this episode is just another act. But for the Democrats, the lesson is clear: adapt or be left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
