In 2012, musician John Mayer earned the distinction of becoming one of Donald Trump’s celebrity tweet subjects. He accomplished this by dating Katy Perry, whom Trump just had to throw some shade at with an oddly worded insult. “@katyperry is no bargain but I don’t like John Mayer — he dates and tells — be careful Katy (just watch!),” he tweeted.
Apparently, Mayer wasn’t too offended by the warning that he’s romantic napalm. In a 2024 appearance on “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend,” he actually complimented Trump’s voice. However, Mayer wasn’t suggesting that the former president should start serenading rallygoers with his own rendition of “Your Body is a Wonderland.” Instead, he thinks Trump could find work as a voiceover artist. “If Donald Trump weren’t saying the things he was saying and was saying things that were benign, he would have a lovely speaking voice,” he said.
But if Trump were to ever narrate a children’s book, Mayer might not buy it for his future kids. In 2017, he tweeted about how difficult it will be for him to someday describe to his children what living through the Trump presidency was like. He then attempted to do so by imagining a conversation with one of his nonexistent offspring. “Okay … you know Keith, who pulls the legs off of bugs and gets detention for tripping people? Imagine Keith was our president, times 10,” Mayer wrote.
