Asked what their policies would be, Manson said: “Well, we’d set new holidays for sure. Johnny Depp Day, Marilyn Manson Day. I wouldn’t live in the White House… It’s too white and too stupid-looking.”

Manson also spoke about Donald Trump’s Presidency, saying: “It doesn’t worry me any more than any of the other Presidents. The only President I ever voted for was Barack Obama. Just because I thought it was such a unique period in history that I wanted to do it just so that I could say I’d done it. I didn’t really think that my vote would make a difference.”

On why he didn’t vote in the recent US election, Manson said: “Because I’d have had to get up early.”

Elsewhere in the NME interview, Manson has claimed that he initially mistook Justin Bieber for a girl when the pair first met at a bar.
