One week and one day after Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, ’90s alt-rock goofballs the Presidents of the United States have announced that they are no longer functioning as a band. The band’s statement gives no hint that their exit is in any way Trump related, but you never know.

“Thanks for all the singing and clapping and happy times and WE LOVE YOU!” frontman Chris Ballew wrote on Facebook this afternoon. Read his full statement below, and watch the video for PUSA’s classic single “Lump” below that.
