“I’m Terrified Trump’s a Terrorist” Released in Wake of Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert Silencing

(Wingham, ON) — A newly released protest song is drawing attention for its blunt lyrics and provocative message, questioning whether it is illegal to question if former President Donald Trump is a terrorist.

The track, titled “I’m Terrified Trump’s a Terrorist,” by Wingham Wakening, describes a nation living in fear amid restrictions on free speech. The song’s refrain — “I’m terrified that Trump’s a terrorist” — is repeated throughout, with verses referencing late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert being forced off the air.

The song’s writers say a terrorist is someone who causes people to live in terror, and they argue that Trump’s actions against media voices and public criticism have left Americans silenced.

The release was inspired by the words of President John F. Kennedy, who told newspaper publishers in 1961: “Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed — and no republic can survive.” Another line from the same speech noted: “No Administration should fear scrutiny, for from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary.”

The track blends political commentary with heavy percussion and crowd chants such as “Freedom over fear” and “Truth is resistance.” Its closing warning — “Don’t share this online, or Trump might make you dead” — underscores the song’s theme of fear and self-censorship.

Legal experts note that under the First Amendment, even harsh criticism of political figures is protected speech. But the song’s stark language has fueled debate about whether cultural and broadcast restrictions, rather than laws, are shaping what Americans feel free to say.
