'What I Got: Nothing': Rapper Turns on Donald Trump After Voting for Him Three Times

Country-rap artist Adam Calhoun criticised President Donald Trump in a social media video posted on Tuesday, 22 September, saying high fuel and grocery prices were among the reasons for his frustration after supporting Trump at the ballot box three times.

Calhoun made the remarks while standing beside a diesel pump at an unidentified location before continuing his comments from inside a vehicle. He said he had voted only three times in his life and that each vote had gone to Trump.

The video appeared 11 days after Calhoun released American Native on 11 September. His official website confirms the album's release date, while streaming listings identify 'Death And Taxes' as its 10th and final track. In the song, Calhoun states that he voted for Trump.

Adam Calhoun Says His Three Trump Votes Delivered 'Nothing'

Calhoun began the video by questioning the cost of fuel before broadening his complaints to groceries, wars and what he described as a lack of accountability for powerful people who harm children.

'I have voted three times in my entire life. Each time was for Trump,' Calhoun said.

He said his support had been based on expectations that included cheaper fuel, cheaper groceries, fewer wars and accountability for people who commit crimes against children. Those were Calhoun's stated reasons for supporting Trump rather than independently established findings about government policy or its outcomes.

Calhoun then summarised his assessment in blunt terms: 'What I got: nothing.' He added that fuel prices were high and that 'everything is expensive.'

During the same passage, Calhoun referred to what he called the 'Epstein list.' The available material does not identify which Jeffrey Epstein-related records he meant, and his reference should not be read as establishing wrongdoing by any person. Being named or mentioned in Epstein-related material does not, by itself, demonstrate criminal conduct.

Calhoun's criticism then widened beyond Trump. He said Republicans and Democrats were 'the same thing' and indicated that he did not intend to vote again.

His remarks represented his own decision to stop voting rather than an endorsement of another candidate or political party. They also provide no basis for conclusions about how other Trump supporters view the president or either major party.

Trump Criticism Contrasts With Calhoun's Recent Pro-Trump Lyric

The 22 September video stands in sharp contrast with a lyric released less than two weeks earlier. On 'Death And Taxes,' the closing track of American Native, Calhoun says that he voted for Trump.

The timing does not mean the video was Calhoun's first public criticism of the president. In April, he also criticised Trump publicly and said he intended to hold him accountable after voting for him.

That earlier criticism makes it more accurate to describe the September video as another, broader expression of dissatisfaction rather than a complete political reversal.

Calhoun's latest remarks focused primarily on living costs and expectations he said had not been met. The video does not establish that Trump personally caused the prices Calhoun complained about, nor does it independently assess the administration's record against each of his stated expectations.

Calhoun also said he believed ordinary people should not expect a politician to solve their problems. 'No man is coming to save us,' he said.

Taken together, the available material shows a clear contrast in Calhoun's public language over an 11-day period: a song released on 11 September reaffirmed that he had voted for Trump, while his 22 September video expressed dissatisfaction with the results he believed those votes had produced and said he no longer intended to participate in elections.
