‘I’m not scared of you’: Neil Young joins Bruce Springsteen’s feud with Donald Trump
Rockstar Neil Young joined the list of celebrities attacking President Donald Trump publicly.
The Hollywood Reporter wrote Tuesday that the singer-songwriter came to the defense of Bruce Springsteen, who bashed Trump at two concerts in the UK over the past week.
“Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America," Young said in a message to Trump on his website late Monday. "You worry about that instead of the dyin’ kids in Gaza? That’s your problem. I am not scared of you. Neither are the rest of us. You shut down FEMA when we needed it most. That’s your problem Trump? STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT ROCKERS ARE SAYING. Think about saving America from the mess you made."
Springsteen attacked the Trump administration last Friday, saying that the United States is "currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration."

In response, Trump took to Truth Social, calling "The Boss" a “dried out prune of a rocker." He then told Springsteen that he “ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just ‘standard fare’. Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!”
"Remember what the White House is? 86/47???" Young asked, a reference to former FBI Director James Comey, who posted a photo of shells on the beach spelling out 86 47 — considered by many Trump allies to be a threat.
"That’s what you think about. You are forgetting your real job. You work for us. Wake up Republicans!" Young continued, according to the report. "This guy is out of control. We need a real president!”
Springsteen isn't the only musician Trump attacked, however. In another Truth Social post, Trump commented that Taylor Swift was no longer "HOT."
Young continued, “Taylor Swift is right. So is Bruce. You know how I feel. You are more worried about yourself than AMERICA. Wake up Trump!! Remember what the White House is?”
The report said that Young also posted a different comment, thanking Springsteen and sharing the video.
“As a Canadian-American dual citizen, I stand with the great majority, thanking you for speaking so eloquently and truthfully on behalf of the American people,” Young said. “We are with you my old friend. Your great songs of America ring true as you sing them to Europe and the world!”
