Bono has previously claimed the album was delayed because Trump “bent the moral arc of the universe.”

U2 rail against President Trump and the Ku Klux Klan in the new video for “Get Out of Your Own Way.” The animated clip was developed by the Broken Fingaz Crew, an Israeli graffiti collective.

The imagery in the video alternates between images of anguish – a woman crying, a skull enveloped by flames – and direct political references: Ku Klux Klan members march across the screen, torches in hand, while President Trump looks on from the Oval Office. In the background, U2 pair a call to action with shiny, arena-ready post-punk. “Fight back,” Bono instructs. “Don’t take it lyin’ down, you got to bite back.”

Broken Fingaz Crew envisioned the clip as a direct response to many of the headlines in 2017. “2017 for us was the year fascists worldwide felt confident enough to raise their heads again, encouraged by Trump and other world leaders who use people’s fear to build more walls and segregation,” they explained in a statement. “The song is both a personal letter and a clarion cry to the global situation, and in the same way, we’ve combined our psychedelic pop style with political imagery.”
