I think its more because instead of just saying "hey that's not cool" he publicly shat on his friend and threw him under the bus, disbanded the band, cancelled the concert.
He obviously knows Kyle pretty well, so this sentiment can't be a surprise to him. So therefore he has no integrity by supporting his friend behind closed doors and being two faced when his sentiments are aired in public.
Part of not giving a fuck is having the integrity to be who you truly are, and from his reaction I can see is just an act.
It goes both ways though. Kyle should also know his friend wouldn't be happy about potentially losing his career over calls to murder a person for political reasons.
Disclaimer: I fucking hate Trump and wish he was killed years ago so I'm not saying I disagree with what Kyle said, I'm just disagreeing with when he chose to express it because he was there representing tenacious D which extends to jack as well. I'll also add that at this point I worry that killing Trump now would only replace him with someone actually competent to drive the fascism train over the tracks that are already firmly in place, but that's a different discussion.
How much money did he lose cancelling the tour though?
Giving up that kind of money takes integrity.
It's not like either of them are hurting for it.
The crew on the other hand though...
