Overview

  • Neil Young has joined Bruce Springsteen in criticizing Donald Trump, accusing him of neglecting humanitarian crises and FEMA's shutdown while feuding with musicians.
  • Young released a song and video, 'Let’s Roll Again,' targeting Trump and Elon Musk, with sharp critiques of their leadership and policies.
  • The dispute began after Springsteen denounced the Trump administration as 'corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous' during a UK concert last Friday.
  • Trump responded with personal attacks on Springsteen and unsubstantiated allegations that musicians like Beyoncé and Bono were paid for endorsements at Kamala Harris’s rallies.
  • Young reiterated his stance that Trump should prioritize governance over personal grievances, calling on Republicans to address what he described as Trump's leadership failures.
