According to the post Neil Young wrote in his website, Donald Trump's biggest problem comes from worrying more about what musicians think about him, than world-class issues. "Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America. You worry about that instead of the dyin’ kids in Gaza. That’s your problem.”

Neil Young concluded his message urging Republicans to "wake up" and recognize the president is out of control, reminding them Trump works for the country
