Neil Young is once again not holding back against President Donald Trump and MAGA.
The iconic rocker kicked off 2026 with a blistering op-ed on his official website, the Neil Young Archives, and he pulled no punches at the MAGA leader.
“Wake up, people!” Young declared. “Today the USA is a disaster. Donald Trump is destroying America bit by bit with his staff of wannabes, people with no experience or talent, closet alcoholic wife beaters, inexperienced leaders who only know how to lie to keep favor with Trump’s falseness so they can hold their unearned positions in his inept government, a Congress full of Republicans acting like idiots with no conscience…He has divided us. How did we elect these creeps who have no spin, no values, no conscience, no way to save the USA.”
The fiery editorial published Thursday after an ICE officer fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis, igniting a political firestorm nationwide. Young seized the moment to sound an alarm about what he views as a dangerous power grab.
"We need to take Trump at his word," Young wrote. "Make America Great Again. It won't be easy while he is trying to turn our cities into battlegrounds so he can cancel our elections with marshal law and escape all accountability."
Young added, "Something has to change this. We know what to do. Rise up. Peacefully in millions. Too many innocent people are dying."
Young didn't spare Immigration and Customs Enforcement from his wrath, either.
"It's ICE cold here in America," he wrote. "There was no ICE before Trump. No soldiers in the streets before Trump. Every move he makes is to build instability so he can stay in power. He knows nothing about love. He does not know who you are. Use your love of life, your love of one another, your love of children, yours and theirs and ours. Peacefully. Now."
This marks yet another salvo in Young's ongoing feud with the president. Trump has called himself Young's biggest fan, praising his "haunting" in 2008, Rolling Stone noted.
Young's takedown comes months after he took a swipe at Amazon over its support of Trump's administration and vowed to yank his music off the e-commerce website.
Young wrote on his website that the "time is here."
"FORGET AMAZON. Soon my music will not be there. It is easy to buy local. Support your community. Go to the local store. Don’t go back to the big corporations who have sold out America," he railed.
