John Dolmayan Supports Trump, Claims Presidency Brings 'Sanity Back'

In a recent interview, System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan expressed his support for Donald Trump's presidency, stating that it brings 'a little sanity back' to the United States. Dolmayan, who has previously been vocal about his right-wing beliefs, mentioned that he voted for Trump in the 2024 election and emphasized the need for law and order, while also advocating for a structured immigration process. His comments have sparked controversy given the band's generally left-leaning lyrical themes, and he acknowledged past tensions with bandmate Serj Tankian over differing political views. Dolmayan also criticized 'woke' culture and lifelong politicians, advocating instead for a return to a system where diverse professions contribute to governance. Despite the backlash from fans, he maintains that justice transcends political affiliation and should remain a central theme for their music. The interview reflects ongoing discussions about the intersection of politics and art within the band.
