Top 10 Dead Celebrities Who Would've Hated Trump

They didn't live to see Trump's disastrous term, but I'm certain they would've had many not-so-nice words to say about him.

The Top Ten

George Carlin

George Denis Patrick Carlin was an American stand-up comedian, actor, author, and social critic. Carlin was noted for his black comedy and reflections on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects. His Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television routine played... read more

Carlin actively spoke out against conservatives and their ideals, so I don't doubt he wouldn't hold back against Trump.

Anyone intelligent and unbiased would hate him. Enough said.
Tupac

Tupac Amaru Shakur, also known as 2Pac, was an American rapper and actor born on June 16, 1971, in East Harlem, New York. Tupac sold over 75 million records worldwide and has been referred to in multiple major publications such as Rolling Stone as one of the greatest music artists of all time. 2Pac was... read more

Given his upbringing, I don't think he would be too kind when talking about Trump's treatment of the working class. I think Tupac actually denounced Trump when he was alive.
Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (1932-2003) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, and author. He is widely considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century and one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with more than 90 million records sold worldwide.... read more

Cash was the type of guy to root for the underdog. He had a whole album dedicated to preserving indigenous culture and advocated for prison reform. Safe to say he would've hated Trump.
Burt Lancaster

A progressive who fought racial injustice and opposed the Vietnam War. He hated Nixon. He would definitely hate Trump.
Frank Zappa

Frank Vincent Zappa was an American musician, songwriter, composer, record producer, actor, and filmmaker. He was known for his innovative work across multiple genres including rock, jazz, and classical music. Zappa passed away in 1993 but remains an influential figure in music history.

Zappa never had a solid political party to identify with, but he was reasonable enough that I'd like to think he would have never supported Trump.
John Lennon

John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (born John Winston Lennon, 9 October 1940-8 December 1980), was an English singer, songwriter, musician, and political activist. He rose to worldwide fame as the co-founder, co-lead vocalist, and rhythm guitarist of the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the... read more

An outspoken pacifist who opposed the Vietnam War and supported many causes that Trump never would.
Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson, June 1, 1926 - August 5, 1962) was an American actress, singer, and model. Decades after her unexpected death, she has remained one of Hollywood's greatest sex symbols with her eye-catching style, champagne blonde hair, and breathless manner of speaking. She... read more

Monroe suffered a lot through her life, and I see no reason why she would sympathize with Trump's "struggles."
Lenny Bruce

Leonard Alfred Schneider, better known by his stage name Lenny Bruce, was an American stand-up comedian, social critic, satirist, and screenwriter. He was known for his open, freestyle, and critical form of comedy which integrated satire, politics, religion, and vulgarity. Bruce is considered a pioneer... read more

When it came to political and social issues, Lenny Bruce never held back. He would have held back nothing if he went after Trump.
Robin Williams

Robin McLaurin Williams was an American actor and comedian. Starting as a stand-up comedian in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the mid-1970s, he helped lead a comedy renaissance in San Francisco. He passed away in August 2014 and is remembered for his improvisational genius, charity work, and heartfelt... read more

Also a lifelong Democrat and philanthropist.
Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee (November 27, 1940 - July 20, 1973) was a Hong Kong and American martial artist, instructor, actor, director, screenwriter, producer, and philosopher. He founded Jeet Kune Do, a hybrid martial arts philosophy that influenced modern mixed martial arts (MMA). Lee is widely considered one of the... read more

Aside from being a celebrated martial artist and actor, Lee was also a philosopher who was wise beyond his words. He would have undoubtedly seen straight through Trump.

Bette Davis

Ruth Elizabeth "Bette" Davis (April 5, 1908 - October 6, 1989) was an American actress who worked in film, television, and theater. She is regarded as one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history. Davis was known for her willingness to portray unsympathetic, sardonic characters and for her versatility... read more

The Contenders

Woody Guthrie

Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie was an American singer-songwriter and musician. His musical legacy includes hundreds of political, traditional, and children's songs, along with ballads and improvised works. He is best known for his iconic song "This Land Is Your Land."

Woody Guthrie wrote a song about Trump's corrupt father.
Orson Welles

George Orson Welles was an American actor, director, writer, and producer who worked extensively in theater, radio, and film. He is best known for directing and starring in Citizen Kane (1941), which is widely considered one of the greatest films of all time. Welles also co-founded the Mercury Theatre... read more

Welles was a self-described "progressive," which I think speaks for itself.
George Harrison

George Harrison (25 February 1943-29 November 2001) was an English musician, singer, and songwriter who achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of the Beatles. Sometimes called "the quiet Beatle," Harrison embraced Indian culture and helped broaden the scope of popular music through his incorporation... read more

Reading about his decades of humanitarianism and activism convinces me he would never agree with what Trump has done to people in need.
Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain (February 20, 1967 - April 5, 1994) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician, best known as the frontman of the grunge band Nirvana. Founded in 1987, Nirvana achieved global success in the early 1990s, reshaping rock music with albums like Bleach, Nevermind, and In Utero. Cobain died... read more

Kurt Cobain would have despised this man. From interviews I've watched to the way he conducted himself and everything I've read about him, he would have been a vocal critic of Trump had he lived long enough to see his presidency.
Kurt hated corporate elitist frauds like Trump, who only look after themselves and profit from the suffering of others. He was also an advocate for gay people and a feminist in the traditional sense. Given Trump's gross comments about women, he would've hated him.
Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando, Jr. was an American actor, film director, and activist. He is credited with bringing a gripping realism to film acting and is often cited as one of the greatest and most influential actors of all time. He died on July 1, 2004, at the age of 80.

Brando supported the civil rights movement along with many other progressive movements focused on rights for the underdogs.
Billie Holiday

Eleanora Fagan, professionally known as Billie Holiday, was an American jazz musician and singer-songwriter with a career spanning nearly thirty years. She was known for her emotive voice and unique phrasing. Holiday's most famous recordings include Strange Fruit, God Bless the Child, and Lover Man.
David Bowie

David Robert Jones, known professionally as David Bowie (January 8, 1947 - January 10, 2016), was an English singer born in London, the son of a sales promotion officer and a housewife.
He earned praise for his experimental and creative music, winning numerous awards and gaining admiration from... read more

Highly anti-racist and anti-fascist, he spoke clearly of his beliefs during the '80s and '90s.
Jim Morrison

James Douglas "Jim" Morrison (December 8, 1943 - July 3, 1971) was an American singer, songwriter, and poet best remembered as the lead vocalist and lyricist of The Doors. He became a counterculture icon of the 1960s, known for his flamboyant stage presence and poetic lyrics. Morrison died in Paris in... read more

He was said to embody the hippie counterculture movement in the '60s, and I'd like to think that spirit would have stuck with him if he were alive today.
Douglas Adams

Douglas Noel Adams was an English author, scriptwriter, essayist, humorist, satirist, and dramatist. He was the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which originated in 1978 as a BBC radio comedy. The series evolved into a "trilogy" of five books that sold more than 15 million copies during... read more

Adams pushed for conservation and technological innovation, so I don't see why he'd support someone who pushed us so far back.
Warren Zevon

Warren William Zevon was an American rock singer-songwriter and musician. His most well-known songs include "Werewolves of London," "Lawyers, Guns and Money," "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner," and "Johnny Strikes Up the Band." These tracks appear on his third album, Excitable Boy, which helped establish... read more

Peter "Pete" Seeger was a renowned American folk singer and social activist. He gained national prominence through radio in the 1940s and had major success in the 1950s as a member of the Weavers. The group's version of "Goodnight, Irene" spent 13 weeks at number one in 1950. Seeger and the Weavers... read more
Lou Reed

Jerry Garcia

Jerome John "Jerry" Garcia was an American musician best known for his lead guitar work, singing, and songwriting with the band the Grateful Dead, which came to prominence during the counterculture era in the 1960s.
Garcia was also involved in various side projects and was respected for his improvisational... read more

She was named the 20th greatest female star of Classic Hollywood cinema by the American... read more

Self-described anti-Republican. She also said, "Being a liberal is the best thing on Earth you can be. You are welcoming to everyone when you're a liberal. You do not have a small mind."
Charlie Chaplin

Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (April 16, 1889 - December 25, 1977) was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the silent film era.
