Rock Legend Accuses Trump of ‘Destroying America’

Kevin Winter / Getty Images Legendary rocker Neil Young had some choice words for President Donald Trump. In a post shared to his website on Thursday, Young, 80, railed on how the president is “trying to turn our cities into battlegrounds” and “knows nothing about love.” “Wake up people! Today The USA is a disaster,” Young wrote. “Donald Trump is destroying America bit by bit with his staff of wannabes, people with no experience or talent, closet alcoholic wife beaters,” the two-time Grammy award winner wrote. Young said Trump has “divided us,” and called the current administration “creeps who have no spine, no values, no conscience.” “It’s ICE cold here in America,” Young continued. “There was no ICE before Trump. No soldiers in the streets before Trump. Every move he makes is to build instability so he can stay in power.” Young’s writing was published after an ICE agent shot and killed an unarmed American mom, Renee Nicole Good, 37, on Wednesday. Trump, 79, who attended multiple Young shows before becoming president, told Rolling Stone in 2008 that Young’s voice was “perfect and haunting,” and “Whatever the hell ‘it’ is, he’s got it.” Read it at Rolling Stone Read more at The Daily Beast.
