In a Rolling Stone Italy interview, System of A Down frontman Serj Tankian discussed his drummer brother-in-law John Dolmayan's shift away from supporting Donald Trump. Tankian stated that while he would not speak definitively for Dolmayan, the drummer's enthusiasm for Trump appears to have faded, using the past tense when describing his previous support and suggesting he has grown tired of the president.

Tankian highlighted a broader pattern among Armenian-American voters in Los Angeles, referencing many who initially backed Trump but now regret their choice. He also noted that Dolmayan had previously voted for Barack Obama, illustrating that voters can and do change their political preferences over time. The two musicians maintain their professional and personal relationship despite their differing political views.
