Neil Young, Musicians Condemn Trump’s Attacks

Neil Young has publicly condemned former President Donald Trump for his recent attacks on musicians including Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift, urging Trump to focus on pressing national matters. Young accused Trump of ignoring crises like the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the FEMA shutdown, saying Trump prioritizes personal grievances over the country's well-being. The dispute began when Trump insulted Springsteen and Swift on Truth Social, calling Springsteen 'highly overrated' and mocking Swift's popularity. Springsteen responded by calling Trump’s administration 'corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous.' Trump then escalated the feud by making unfounded claims of illegal campaign contributions involving artists such as Beyoncé and Bono. The episode underscores ongoing tensions between Trump and prominent musicians, as well as wider concerns about the politicization of celebrity voices.
