Country Rapper Blasts Donald Trump After Voting for Him Three Times Saying 'Everything Is Expensive'

Country-rap artist Adam Calhoun criticised President Donald Trump in a Facebook video posted on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, while standing beside a diesel pump at an unidentified location, saying fuel and grocery prices were among the reasons for his frustration after voting for him three times.

The post appeared 11 days after Calhoun released American Native on 11 September, as his official website confirmed the release date, while streaming listings place 'Death And Taxes' as the album's closing track, and the song includes pro-Trump lyrics.

The new video nevertheless contrasts sharply with that recent support as Calhoun focused on what he believed his votes should have delivered, rather than announcing a complete reversal of every political position he previously held.

Adam Calhoun Questions What His Votes Delivered

Standing beside the diesel pump, Calhoun began by reacting to fuel costs before turning to his voting history. 'I have voted three times in my entire life,' he said. 'Each time was for Trump.'

Calhoun said he had expected cheaper gas, cheaper groceries and no new wars. He also said he wanted powerful people who committed crimes against children to be held accountable. He then referred to what he called the 'Epstein list.' That phrase needs careful context.

A Justice Department and FBI review published in July 2025 said investigators found no incriminating 'client list' and no evidence that could justify investigations of uncharged third parties.

In January 2026, the Justice Department said it had released nearly 3.5 million pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Those records reference people in many different contexts. A name appearing in released material does not, by itself, establish criminal conduct or involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.

Calhoun returned to prices and said, 'Everything is expensive.' Federal data gives some context to that complaint.

The US Energy Information Administration reported average nationwide on-highway diesel at $6.529 a gallon for the week ending 21 September, up $2.780 from a year earlier.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics also reported that food-at-home prices were 2.2% higher in August than a year earlier. Overall consumer prices rose 3.4% over the same period, while the wider food index increased 2.7%.

Those figures show that fuel and grocery costs had risen, but they do not establish that Trump or any single policy caused the increases. A range of domestic and global factors can shape prices.

Calhoun said he believed his latest vote had produced 'nothing.' His remarks were profane at times, but the complaints he listed focused on prices, foreign conflict and accountability.

Adam Calhoun Says He Is Finished With Voting

Calhoun's criticism then widened beyond Trump. He said he no longer trusted either major political party and did not intend to vote again. 'I will never vote again,' he said. 'It's an (expletive) joke.'

He argued that Republicans and Democrats were effectively the same and said ordinary people should not expect a politician to 'save' them. That broadened the clip from dissatisfaction with Trump into criticism of the political system itself.

The comments do not establish that Calhoun has abandoned every view he previously expressed. They do, however, mark a public criticism that sits awkwardly beside his pro-Trump remarks on an album released less than two weeks earlier.

Reactions beneath the Facebook post were mixed. Some commenters reportedly welcomed his criticism, while others mocked him for having supported Trump.

Those reactions represent only a small sample from one Facebook thread. They should not be treated as evidence of how Calhoun's wider audience views the video unless the original thread is checked directly.

The White House did not respond to Calhoun's remarks. Calhoun closed by rejecting the idea that voting would resolve his frustrations. 'This is we the people, and we ain't voting our way out of this (expletive),' he said.
