JOHN LEGEND has called out Donald Trump, stating that the US President is a “racist piece of sh*t”.

In interview outside LA nightclub Peppermint, TMZ asked Legend to comment on Trump's recent racist attacks against Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and the city of Baltimore.

The singer did not hold back on his thoughts on the president and was adamant that “we need to get him out of office’ as he laid into the leader with a series of curse words and insults.

“Our president is a flaming racist. He’s a piece of sh*t,’ he began. He says piece of sh*t-sh*t all the time. That’s what he does. We need to get him out of office”.

He added: “Donald Trump is an evil f**king canker sore on America’s whole landscape, so we need to get him out of office.”

The musician continued: “There’s a lot that can be done. There’s over a century of history that created the problems that they have, and we need to focus on making all of our communities better instead of talkin’ sh*t about our communities just because you’re a racist pr*ck.”

Last weekend, Trump took toTwitter and verbally attackedblack congressman Elijah Cummings, who represents the district of Baltimore, declaring that the city is a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” where “no human would want to live.''

He later denied claims that the tweets were racist, and went on to call Cummings himself a “racist”.
