Green Day singer tells Trump-supporting fan to 'f*** off' after controversial 'Nuclear Button' tweet

Billie Joe Armstrong — the outspoken left-wing singer of pop-punk band Green Day — is arguably as well known these days for hating Republican President Donald Trump as for his music.

Indeed Armstrong didn't hold back in the wake of Trump's controversial tweet directed toward North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, as the president bragged about his access to a "much bigger & more powerful ... Nuclear Button."

"This isn’t funny. This is our president acting like a madman drunk on power THREATENING to kill innocent starving people by way of nuclear war," Armstrong wrote on Instagram alongside a screenshot of Trump's tweet. "The 25th amendment needs to be enforced. This man is sick and unfit for office. I don’t care if your [sic] liberal or conservative.. this has to stop . Please share #impeachtrump."

Well, not every Armstrong fan agreed with his sentiments.

“I hate to sound like a dick Billie but you are liberal and people have the right to support trump and whatever you say won’t change anything to trump supporters,” one fan responded, Alternative Nation reported.

But Armstrong didn't let the comment go without an expletive-laden retort, the outlet said: “well then go f*** your self you stupid piece of s**t. If that’s the way you feel about mass destruction and murder then f*** off. Stay the f*** off my Instagram and don’t come back. Don’t listen to my f***ing records. I have no problem telling ignorant f***s like you to go to hell. That goes for any other stupid f***s that thinks [sic] this behavior should [be] normalized. Get the f*** out!”
