MAGA Melts Down After Green Day Holds Up 'Severed' Trump Head—Except It's Actually A Mask

After Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong held up a Trump mask with the word 'idiot' written across the forehead, MAGA fans accused him of holding up a 'severed Trump head.'

Once again, former Republican President Donald Trump's legion of very "weird" devotees are outraged over something that never happened.

MAGA fans are incensed that Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong held up a "severed Trump head" emblazoned with "idiot" on its forehead during a recent performance in Washington, D.C.


Except it never happened—it was just rubber mask.

"Severed head" immediately began to trend on X after the uproar, but much of the engagement on tweets about it was people pointing out the obvious—that's not a "severed head," it's a mask.

The MAGA devotee who started the uproar eventually doubled down on his outrage, saying that Armstrong was intending to depict the Greek god Perseus severing the head of Medusa, a drawing of which he included. LOL okay, buddy.

Others on X quickly set him straight, with one explaining it was a mask thrown onstage by a fan that Armstrong picked up and showed off impromptu, not some premeditated act of disrespect.

The X user wrote:

"Dude, someone in the crowd brought the mask. Billie Joe spotted it or it was thrown on stage and that’s really all there is to it. Not everything is a deep conspiracy."

The Trump fans were undeterred of course, surely trying to blow this incident into something on the same level as the ridiculous and dangerous uproar ignited by comedian Kathy Griffin in 2017 when she and photographer Tyler Shields created a photo of Griffin holding a prop severed Trump head covered in blood.

The provocative image resulted in Griffin not only being blacklisted in Hollywood and rejected by prominent media friends like Anderson Cooper, but it also got Griffin put on the "no-fly list," subjected to a Department of Justice investigation, and forced Griffin to endure months of death threats.

But even Griffin couldn't help but weigh in on the controversy, sharing a photo of Armstrong with the mask and writing:

"Yknow, i’ve always liked @greenday & @billiejoearmstrong"

No such international incident ensued with Armstrong's stunt, however, no matter how hard MAGA has tried.

Instead, the internet cracked joke after joke about MAGA fans' outrage over a rubber Trump mask.









Anyway, we wish MAGA the best of luck getting over this latest bout of hurt feelings.

Treasury Secretary Blasted Over Out-Of-Touch Remark About How Many Homes People Buy For Retirement

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had people raising their eyebrows after he made an out-of-touch remark at the World Economic Forum about the number of homes people purchase for their retirement, claiming at a time when Americans are struggling with a nationwide cost-of-living crisis that some are purchasing as many as "12 homes" for their golden years.

Bessent described the administration’s strategy to limit the role of large institutional buyers in the single-family housing market, while preserving protections for smaller, independent landlords, including those who rely on rental properties for retirement income.

Danish Politician Tells Trump To 'F—k Off' In Fiery Speech Amid Trump's Threats Over Greenland

Citizens of both Greenland and the Faroe Islands are full citizens of Denmark. As one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union, Greenland’s citizens are also recognized as EU citizens.

Former Cult Members Reveal The Exact Moment They Realized They Were In A Cult

In modern usage, the word "cult" has a strong negative connotation. It generally refers to groups outside the mainstream characterized by a charismatic leader, intense devotion, isolation, and manipulative or abusive practices like "brainwashing."

That perception was amplified by the mainstream media and incidents like the People's Temple and Heaven's Gate.

Tennis Star Naomi Osaka Explains How Her Daughter Inspired Her Unique Jellyfish Outfit For The Australian Open

Tennis superstar Naomi Osaka turned the court into a nautical-themed runway at the 2026 Australian Open, debuting a jellyfish-inspired outfit born not from a fashion archive or a what’s trending forecast, but from her 2-year-old daughter’s delight in marine life.

At 28, Osaka has long been recognized for more than her dominance on the court. She’s also cemented her status as one of tennis’ boldest fashion risk-takers, using walk-ons as moments of personal storytelling rather than uniform obligation.

NBA Crowd In London Erupts In Cheers After Heckler's Pointed Words To Trump During National Anthem

The position MAGA Republican President Donald Trump and the United States currently hold on the world stage was made abundantly clear at an NBA game between the Orlando Magic and the Memphis Grizzlies held at the O2 Arena in London, England, on Sunday.

The Trump administration frequently touts their foreign policy prowess, claiming they're respected more globally than their predecessors were. But the mockery and protests Trump, his family, and administration members receive when traveling abroad indicate otherwise.
