Donald Trump responds to Neil Young over "Rockin' in the Free World" use, calls him a "total hypocrite'
As you probably heard, Neil Young was upset when Donald Trump used “Rockin’ in the Free World” as a theme song announcing his bid for President. As Neil admitted in his statement about Trump’s use of his song, he had met with the multi-billionaire a while back when raising money for his Pono music player, and Trump took to Twitter last night night to remind people of that, calling Young a “total hypocrite.” In addition to Tweeting the above picture of him and Young at the meeting, Trump tweeted:
.@Neilyoung A few months ago Neil Young came to my office looking for $$ on an audio deal & called me last week to go to his concert. Wow!

.@Neilyoung‘s song, “Rockin’ In The Free World” was just one of 10 songs used as background music. Didn’t love it anyway.

Though Canadian and doesn’t vote in the US, Young has endorsed Senator Bernie Saunders for president and given him “Rockin’ in the Free World” which the candidate has since used at rallies.
