I JUST read the same article. Yep, he’s no DJT fan. Also saw this from Hallowverse: The Religion and Political Views of Billy Joel
Summary
Religion
Billy Joel was raised Jewish and still identifies as a “cultural Jew” despite publicly admitting that he’s an atheist.
Political Views
Joel is a Democrat but kept it to himself until Obama’s 2008 presidential bid, when he joined Bruce Springsteen in a concert for cause.
