Trapt frontman Chris Taylor Brown must be going crazy inside quarantine, because over the last two days, he seemingly is having a Twitter meltdown about COV-19, or coronavirus. Brown is notorious for his Trump-loving right wing views, which our friends at MetalSucks, have covered in great length.
While US president Donald Trump has only begun acknowledging the pandemic in the last week, Trapt think Trump is actually doing a fine job and is spending a lot of time on Twitter to make sure people know that. Slate's Ashley Feinberg reports the "Headstrong" nu-metal one-hit-wonders tweeted roughly 900 times in the last 48 hours (equaling about 1/5th of their output). Here are some highlights:
Oh it’s THE authority on victim mentality! Made a career of that, ?

Here Trapt attacks Captain America himself, Chris Evans:
Stfu! Trump made the decision to close off travel from China early on! Europe didn’t do this! That is the SOLE reason the US doesn’t have bodies piling up and hospitals being overrun with the system about to fail, as is case in Italy. You should be thankful he made that decision!

Trapt think Trump is doing a great job:
Naw, we’re loving our tax breaks, secure border and new trade deals! ?

Also, they beat Hoobastank on Pandora:
We beat em by a million on Pandora. They beat us on Spotify. Both bands are doing great. You on the other hand, your parents are so damn disappointed in you… You’re such a sorry excuse for a man.

Nickelback is amazingly successful. That’s not an insult??♂️ You have to be the biggest loser idiot on twitter

…didn't take long for the basement comments…
What you need to do is get a job and start paying taxes, and move out of mommy and daddy’s basement. I’ve paying loads of taxes since I was 23… going on 16 years with the same amazing job! Get a life man… hurry up!

Also, there seem to be dozens of tweets like this, where they proudly recall that they currently have 2 million Spotify listeners and 2.6 million Pandora users:
2 million Spotify and 2.6 million Pandora users mean I will make more money on any given weekend than you will make all year. Maybe stop being a virtue signaling victim with a massive chip on his shoulder and you might do bigger things??♂️

Sorry 2 million Spotify and 2.6 million Pandora listeners give us a great career doing what we love! Very thankful I get to do this for a living! Your pathetic meaningless existence will never compare to mine and you will never amount to anything and you know it??♂️

Trapt think racism is over:
We’re not tired of it. We don’t listen anymore. Been over 50 years since the Civil rights act was passed! Move the fuck on and knock that damn chip of your shoulder. Or not, your life. You can be a victim pointing you finger at everyone but yourself your whole life. Don’t care

You see what she did? She decided she is no longer going to be a victim and is going to spread that message. Kanye doing the same thing. Join them or stay weighed down by that chip on your shoulder??♂️ I don’t give a fuck what you do.
— TRAPT (@TRAPTOFFICIAL) March 17, 2020
What am I saying that is racist? Just because I’m not coddling you and your Victimhood? Go on and teach your children to point the finger and be victims and see how far they get. Oh you were not even born yet when the civil rights act was passed! Gtfoh! You didn’t do shit

The Slate article keeps going and going, you can see more lowlights there because Trapt always post through it.
