The Donald's campaign mgr: Neil is "calling him out" because "he's the only guy that's going to win"



"If an artist does not want his or her music to be associated with the campaign, he or she may be able to legal action even if the campaign has the appropriate copyright licenses," ASCAP says. "While the campaign would be in compliance with copyright law, it could potentially be in violation of other laws, including "Right of Publicity" and "False Endorsement."

This isn't the first time Trump and Young have crossed paths on the political music spectrum. In 2006, Trump attended a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young show during the group's Freedom of Speech tour. At one point, Trump and author Salman Rushdie stood up and sung along to the 2006 song "Let's Impeach the President," written and produced by Young.

"He's got something very special," Trump told Rolling Stone in 2008. "I've listened to his music for years. His voice is perfect and haunting. I've met him on occasions and he's a terrific guy."

For Lewandowski, the controversy appears to be personal against Trump, though it hasn't diminished the campaign staff's confidence. "I'd be willing to wager that the Trump campaign is the only one you're calling out," he says. "I don't understand that other than the fact that he's the only guy that's going to win the Republican nomination.
