  • Ministry pull no punches in anti-Trump video for We Hate. “We just felt it necessary to give ‘Trumplethinskin’ a dose of his own medicine”

    Ministry have released a video for We Hate, taken from the band’s upcoming final album Hate To Go – Take Out Or Delivery, and it’s accompanied by a video that pulls no punches in its depiction of US President Donald Trump.

    “It’s pretty self-evident that Ministry has never been a big fan of ‘Hair Mussolini’,” say the band. “Especially now, as he bombards the American public on a near-daily basis with his self-aggrandising AI slop.

    “We just felt it necessary to give ‘Trumplethinskin’ a dose of his own medicine. We present to you the video We Hate.“

    The video includes several instances of AI slop being turned against the president, depicting him as a goat-cradling clergyman, sitting on a golden throne drinking “Hate Cola”, engaging in a passionate kiss with an ICE agent, and as fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter. Amongst others.

    The chorus of We Hate is sung in German, but translates as “He is a pig / He is a moron, / He is a thief“, while the female voice on the outro – also in German – paraphrases The Blond Beast – a character who represents the primal, predatory instinct of conquering humans – from philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s book On the Genealogy of Morality.

    “[It’s] eerily predictive,” say the band. “But it doesn’t take a ‘Nostradumbass’ to know this is not going to end well.”

    Last month, Ministry announced dates for the European leg of their farewell world tour. The band’s Goodbye Europe tour will kick off in Holland on April 2, 2027. Full dates below.

    Celebrating the end of an era, Jourgensen says: “I’m fucking done. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. I’m amazed at the path that it’s taken, from With Sympathy to where we’re at today, and all points in between. It’s been quite a ride, but I’m completely at peace with the fact that it’s done. It’s time to herd goats.”
