Green Day capitalizes on Trump's viral mugshot with new merchandise benefiting Maui wildfire victims

California’s own Green Day, the alternative band known for their songs “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and “Basket Case,” is one of the groups that have joined in on the viral merchandising trend.

As a play on their 1997 album “Nimrod,” which features two men with their faces obscured by a yellow circle bearing the word “nimrod” on it, Green Day adapted the shirt to feature Trump’s mugshot instead, with his face obscured by the same yellow “nimrod” circle featured on the original cover.

Proceeds from the shirt will be donated to the Greater Good Music charity, which is helping bring food to those affected by the Maui wildfires.

I am WAY over the age that normally would be their fans but there was just something there that I liked.

This is very nice. Now I like them more once again!
