Jeff Daniels Debuts Protest Song Inspired by Nationwide Anti-Trump Protests

Actor Jeff Daniels recently performed an original acoustic protest song titled "Crazy World" on MSNBC's Deadline: White House, inspired by the No Kings protests against President Donald Trump. The song, described by Daniels as "how I cope," focuses on small moments of kindness and joy amid political turmoil, avoiding direct political commentary. Daniels criticized President Trump's use of an AI-generated video depicting him disrespectfully treating protesters, calling it unethical and unprecedented compared to past Republican presidents. He expressed hope that dissatisfaction with Trump's economic promises, such as lowering prices, may lead voters to seek change in future elections. Daniels praised the No Kings protests for raising awareness among disengaged citizens and emphasized the importance of decency and civility in political discourse. Through his music and activism, Daniels aims to highlight both the challenges and humanity present in today's political climate.
