\"RonnieDunn002\"Ronnie Dunn Reacts to Donald Trump\u2019s Presidential Win<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 2016 election affects every American, including country stars like Ronnie Dunn. The singer opened up about his thoughts on the outcome \u00a0and though he didn\u2019t sing Donald Trump\u2019s praises, exactly, he expressed an open mind about the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ronniedunn\"Dunn thinks we often put too much blame or responsibility on the president specifically, when in reality there are a lot of other factors at play.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe may end up thinking he\u2019s one of the better presidents to ever happen. You never know,\u201d he muses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a lot of it was going to happen anyway. Things like the economy \u2014 they\u2019re not in control of that. They can influence it,\u201d he says. \u201cWe sit back as a population in this country as most people do, and think, \u2018Uh, hey, these guys make all the choices and they lead us down the path.\u2019 In reality, that\u2019s not the case. We do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as we remember that, and we stay united, we\u2019re okay,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

Dunn speaks openly about not fully trusting any candidate and taking everything they say with a grain of salt, but he says that the break from the status quo could be a good thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith regards with what\u2019s going on right now, what just happened, I don\u2019t think that it\u2019s a bad idea to have some things disrupted right now. Change never comes without a little bit of pain and effort, and I think that we\u2019re probably set for that to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dunn released his new album Tattooed Heart<\/em> Nov. 11, surprisingly named for his cover of an Ariana Grande tune (originally brought to his attention via his daughter) featured on the record. The move was a bit risky, but Dunn tested the waters gradually.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even tell anybody that I was interested in doing it,\u201d Dunn tells Taste of Country. \u201cI just kind of took it, went off and hid and go \u2018I\u2019ll just go shoot myself in the foot, by myself.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
