In a shocking turn of events, actor and musician Jack Black, along with his band Tenacious D, took the stage in Sydney to express their disappointment over the survival of former President Donald Trump after a recent assassination attempt.
During their concert at the ICC Sydney Theatre, Tenacious D member Kyle Gass made a controversial remark that left the audience divided.
As reported by Yahoo News, the incident occurred when Jack Black presented Gass with a birthday cake during their performance. "Make a wish," Black urged, prompting Gass to blow out the candles and quip, "Don’t miss Trump next time." The comment caused a mixed reaction from the crowd, with some laughing and clapping, while others were visibly unimpressed.

The controversy did not end there. Jack Black's recent appearance at a Hollywood fundraiser for President Biden has added fuel to the fire, with critics pointing to the incident as an example of Hollywood's divisive political rhetoric.
The attempted assassination of Donald Trump has been a topic of intense debate and concern. While some view Gass's comment as a distasteful joke, others argue it crosses a line, especially in the current political climate.
Tenacious D has yet to release an official statement addressing the incident. Meanwhile, social media is ablaze with reactions, ranging from outrage to support, highlighting the deep political divide that continues to plague the nation.
