Morrissey talks Donald Trump, Obama and airport groping on Larry King Now

“He put his finger down my rear cleavage”.

“But then he went straight for my private bits, and then he put his finger down my rear cleavage”. Yes, I filled out a complaint and so forth. “And if I don’t, then I don’t”, regarding the procedures. I had Barrett’s, which is the oesophagus. “They screen it occasionally and I have medication, but I’m OK”. “Lots of people have it and they fade away”.

He added of his initial reaction: “You don’t really hear that word, that c-word”. Just taking control and saying no more. “At the time, you don’t hear it”. Asked by King if he “would say he’s in good health today”, Morrissey responded, “blooming”.

“For me, [depression] didn’t really ever get better”, he said.

“I’ve had it for many years”, he told King.

Revealing intimate details about his own struggle with depression, which he has been treated for since he was a teenager, he admitted: “It doesn’t go away”. “But I think he probably is”.

He added, “I don’t take [medication], I’ve been through everything. It’s a frame of mind, a state of mind, it’s circumstantial”.

In the past Morrissey has slammed immigrants and said the Chinese are “a sub-species”.

He claims that “everybody thinks about [suicide]… even people who mistakenly assume that they’re happy”, and says suicidal people “think of disappearing and having enough, and many people do”. Never one to keep his politics to himself, Moz rattled off a string of quotables on the GOP, Donald Trump, and President Obama, who he called “white on the inside.” Oh, and about Obama and Ferguson and police violence?

“So Obama: Is he white inside?” Because music appears to be dying and people have found other things to do, I think the major labels just want to grab as much as they can as quickly as possible.

Nonetheless, he announced he is a staunch supporter of Hillary Clinton and said America is “ready” for her. He bluntly dismissed the entire field of Republican presidential hopefuls, saying “they all look exactly the same”. “It’s the same old suit and tie”. “Would you like the absolute truth?”

In addition to the interview, Morrissey performed a live rendition of his recent single “Kiss Me a Lot”.
