Legendary musician Neil Young is no fan of President Donald Trump—but it appears the Trump campaign is a fan of his.

The campaign played three of Young's songs—including the classic "Rockin' in the Free World"—at his recent Independence Day speech in front of Mount Rushmore in Keystone, South Dakota.


Young condemned the use of his work at Trump's rallies.


Young, however, won't be suing Trump, emphasizing in an open letter that he didn't want to distract from Trump's work on the health crisis that's killed over 130 thousand Americans. In fact, Young announced that he rewrote his song "Looking for a Leader" to specifically apply to Trump.

He welcomed the President's use of "Looking for a Leader 2020" at his rallies:

"I suggest you listen to my song 'Looking for a Leader 2020,' available on my website, neilyoungarchives.com as part of a work I recently completed with my wife—'The Porch Episode,' as I believe it would be an interesting addition to your next rally."

You can listen to the full song here, beginning at the 17:15 mark.

The lyrics endorse presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, with lyrics like:

"Yeah we had Barack Obama,
And we really need him now.
The man who stood behind him
Has to take his place somehow."

Young then targets Trump:

"America has a leader
Building walls around our house
Don't know Black lives matter,
and we've got to vote him out."

Finally, the musician urges voters to take the 2020 election seriously:

"We got our election
But corruption has a chance
We got to have a big win
to regain confidence
America is beautiful
But she has an ugly side
We're looking for a leader in this country far and wide."

People applauded Young's updated version of the popular song.





Some people still wished the musician would take legal action against Trump playing Young's hits at his rallies.




Young's lyrical rebuke comes just months after he eviscerated Trump in an open letter this past February.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
