❤️ Trump ❤️ forget Neil, I have!

Maybe he would of been okay with Southern Man. “I saw cotton and I saw black, tall white mansions and little shacks. Southern Man, when will you pay them back? Trumps team playing that no no.

Keep playing it Neil

This is like the 8th musician who told tRump to stop playing their music ! Where is Kid Rock ? Back in jail again for hitting someone in a pan cake house at 3 in the morning !He would the tRump to play his music since no one else will now !

Like t-rump cares.

Neil Young and Biden twice baked

Crackhead

Of course he isn’t . He is not Ted Nugent

Neil just needs to be happy someone is still playing his music.

Who cares what Neil wants or likes?

Barack Obama at Mt Rushmore “Majestic”. Media loves him .

TRUMP DOES NOT CARE! He has thousands of unanswered law suits against his corrupt nasty stupid behavior. He is is a lousy business person (6 bankruptcies) and now first POTUS it bankrupt USA. Damn fool

May be you ask Neil Young why did he write his music for in the first place if not tho be used when feel it would fit the that moment. If he doesn't like it he should have never start writing music in the first place.

Oh no!!!

This is why ASCAP and BMI exist. You got paid. The people who pay for the rights to your music can do whatever they want with it. If you don't like it, don't sell the rights to your music. Don't get paid. Simple economics.

'Your music now belongs to the state and we will decide what is best for you'. Isn't that what all these comrades want to hear? Get fucked.

Nobody cares. Hacks.

Call the whaambulance.

Melting melting

They hate the President more than they love the people of this country. Sad

Fuckers should cut to the chase and play Don’t Fear the Reaper on an endless loop

Ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Neil Young has been ALL-DOPED-UP his entire life. Neil Young is a LOSER - Weak and Stupid. Ha,ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U suck

No decent human being wants anything to do with this desperate despicable man.

Because he wanted to perform live and share a stage with Donnie Pooh? Man, Neil bleeds red, white, and blue.

Call him a waaaambulance. He sold the rights and will cash the royalty check.

Sue his ass Neil!

Oh no

Trump has no choice but to use songs without permission. No musician with talent supports him.
