A member of acoustic rock duo Tenacious D wished death on presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump during a concert Sunday following a failed assassination attempt.
Performing in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday, the band held a special birthday celebration on-stage for Kyle Gass where a giant robot presented him a cake, while counterpart Jack Black told him to “Make a wish.”
“Don’t miss Trump next time,” replied Gass, sending gasps and laughter throughout the crowd.

It’s unclear if Gass’ comments will necessitate a US Secret Service visit to gauge whether the remarks could inspire potential violence from others.
Gass’ obscene birthday wish, essentially urging a future assassin to shoot Trump fatally, comes as Trump’s head was grazed by a would-be assassin’s bullet during a rally Saturday in Butler, Penn.
Black appeared at a star-studded fundraising event for Democrat President Joe Biden’s re-election bid in Los Angeles last month, joined by Jimmy Kimmel, George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Barack Obama.
