Donald Trump Goes After Neil Young on Twitter
The Neil Young and Donald Trump feud of 2015 is shaping up to be the most amusing social media 
battle between those we can count as senior citizens. First, Trump used Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” to announce that he’s running for President, then Young blasted Trump for using it without permission. Subsequently, Young decided to allow democratic Presidential hopeful, Bernie Sanders, to use the song for his campaign.
Until last night, Trump remained relatively quiet on the matter. But then, he opened up his Twitter account and laid into Young, calling him a “hypocrite.” Trump’s issue is that the two recently had some business dealings (one would assume for Young’s Pono audio company) and that Young had invited him to a concert.
In true Trump style, he concluded his Twitter-blast by denouncing the very song he was publicly slapped on the wrist for using.
Here’s the thread:
.@Neilyoung A few months ago Neil Young came to my office looking for $$ on an audio deal & called me last week to go to his concert. Wow!

For the nonbeliever, here is a photo of @Neilyoung in my office and his $$ request—total hypocrite. pic.twitter.com/Xm4BJvetIa

.@Neilyoung’s song, “Rockin’ In The Free World” was just one of 10 songs used as background music. Didn’t love it anyway.
