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.

Woman Sparks Debate After Accusing Frontier Airlines Of Kicking Her Off Flight For Being Deaf

Let this Frontier Airlines saga be a reminder to all of us that not all disabilities and needs are visible, so when a person requests accommodations, it's better to believe them.

TikToker @legallyswiftie13 posted in 2024 that, though she was in her early twenties, she discovered that she would be rapidly losing her hearing, which was discovered at a routine medical check-up. Though she could still speak and hear, it would become increasingly difficult for her to hear, especially when there were competing noises in the area.

Former GOP Senator Gets Brutal Wakeup Call After Criticizing People For Playing 'Candy Crush' Instead Of 'Making Babies'

Ben Sasse represented Nebraska in the United States Senate from 2015 to 2023. As a Midwestern moderate, the sometimes controversial Sasse was often critical of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on social media and on the Senate floor.

At one point, the Nebraska GOP censured him because of his criticism of Trump. But Sasse, like Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins, would still vote with the majority of his party when his vote was needed to back Trump's agenda.
