Rock Icon Neil Young Hits Trump Where It Hurts In Searing Attack Message

“We are going to vote you out and Make America Great Again,” the rocker wrote on his website.


Rock icon Neil Young slammed President Donald Trump, threw his support behind Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and warned Republicans they were being lied to.

Young, a newly minted U.S. citizen, described Trump as “a disgrace to my country” in an open letter posted on his website. He called out Trump for his “unforgivable” attacks on the environment and U.S. allies, then unfavorably compared him to former President Barack Obama ― not just as a leader, but as a person.

“Our first black president was a better man than you are,” Young wrote.

That’s a famous sore spot for Trump, who is obsessive about his predecessor. Prior to the 2016 election, Trump was a leader of the racist birther movement that falsely claimed Obama was not a natural-born citizen. Since becoming president, Trump has continued to attack Obama and attempted to compare his presidency to the Obama administration.

But Young said any success Trump could claim about the economy was “what you inherited almost 4 years ago.”

The rocker also reached out to Trump voters. ..........................................

2. A new and improved use for the

MAGA acronym. Same words, reversal of meaning. I think I like this.

4. Not only was our first black president a better man

but, almost every post Civil War president before Trump was a better man, even though some of them have been pretty bad people.

5. Profound thanks, Neil Young.

I've been a Neil Young fan for better than 50 years---all the way back to when he and Steve Stills were playing in Buffalo Springfield.

6. I don't care who beats Trump.

But can they make Kenya a state just to drive him (more) nuts?

The 8th president, Van Buren, and each one from the 11th (James K. Polk) through today were all born after the Declaration of Independence was written. That means 9 presidents were not born as U.S. citizens.

Van Buren, Taylor, Tyler, and Buchanan were born between 1776 and when the Constitution was ratified in 1791. That makes a total of 13 who were not born in our official country (if you want to nitpick).

Guess which country the worst presidents were born in...Hoover, Nixon, Reagan, Dubya, and Trump--Oh, and guess the party too.
