Graham Nash has never been afraid to share his opinion on politics.
Nash, 84, who rose to musical superstardom as a member of the Hollies and Crosby, Stills, & Nash, took to Instagram this weekend to share a scathing post targeting President Donald Trump. While he doesn’t refer to Trump by name in the un-embeddable post, it’s very clear who he’s referring to because he discusses the war in Iran.
“How’s everybody doing? Unbelievable what’s going on here in America. When I think of all the songs that were written back in my day, not just by us in CSN/CSNY but by so many other musicians… blows my mind to be yet again shoved into a war. By a man with multiple deferments so he wouldn’t have to fight himself and put his own life on the line, the way he will now ask so many others to do. Makes me sick,” said Nash, who is pictured in the post standing by a closed window, staring off into the distance.
Nash continues, saying that POTUS is “just another power-hungry, greedy, cowardly, racist, misogynistic, hateful, small-minded, empty-headed, petty thug.”
“And just like all people like him throughout time he starts battles he’ll never have to finish himself, says and does things he will never be held accountable for,” he continued.
Nash concluded his post by saying, “He cares for no one except himself. The best thing we can do is to be the total opposite of him and all the people like him. Keep pushing back. None of this is normal. – G.”

Is Graham Nash Still Close with Joni Mitchell?
Graham Nash and Joni Mitchell may have broken up decades ago, but the legendary singer/songwriters are still on good terms. In fact, the duo is on such good terms that Mitchell still receives flowers from Nash every year for her birthday.
“Joni Mitchell — Joan — was a friend of David (Crosby). The first time we met, she took me back to her hotel and played me the most beautiful songs I’d ever heard, including Chelsea Morning, Little Green,and Both Sides Now,” Nash told the UK’s Times.
The musician went on to say that he knew he was hooked right away, and he’s still in touch with Mitchell to this day.
