Neil Young has published a strongly worded new editorial criticizing Donald Trump. In the editorial, titled "It's ICE Cold Here in America," Young urges readers to "wake up" and describes what he sees as a deteriorating political and social climate under Trump's leadership. "Today the USA is a disaster, Donald Trump is destroying America bit by bit with his staff of wannabes… He has divided us." The musician also calls for collective action, urging Americans to respond through nonviolent protest. "Something has to change this, we know what to do. Rise up. Peacefully in millions. Too many innocent people are dying." Young wrote in his post. The post is the latest in a series of public rebukes Young has aimed at Trump over the years. Despite Trump's past praise of Young's music, he told Rolling Stone in 2008 that Young's voice was "perfect and haunting" but the artist has consistently objected to Trump's political views and use of his songs. Do you agree with musician Neil Young on his opinion of Donald Trump and his administration?
