Yo Yo Ma: I would never play for Trump, not even on his deathbed

Sounds as this yo-yo thinks highly of himself. At least Trump has helped the economy for hundreds of millions of Americans. I wonder how many even know who yo-yo is.

[Jolla]

Charlie Daniels will.

[poconopundit]

He knows Big Bird and all the Beautiful People don’t know. He would never associate with Deplorables. We are beneath his grade, I guess.

Who asked you, attention whore?

[windsorknot]

I’ll bet Yo Yo would be happy to play for 0bama on his deathbed, say a cover of “You’re So Vain”.

[plain talk]

Why do these morons continually feel the need to embarrass themselves with these stupid comments when it’s obvious nobody really gives a sh*t what he says or thinks.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

He ain't got no ding-a-ing to play with, only a yo-yo to play with, so he be very, very upset! 😜

[Ouderkirk]

My favorite...

Yo Yo, you have more dick in your personality than you do in your pants.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yo yo needs to go go back to where he came from.

I am so disappointed to hear this from YoYo Ma. He is truly one of the great classical performers of our time. A prodigy. A musical genius.

But Yoyo has now tarnished himself and become petty by making these political statements.

He brings cheapness on himself.

Now I am going to have a hard time listening to his music or attending any of his concerts. When I’m in the mood for fine classical performances, I want politics to stay at the door.

This is kind of like football players taking the knee. They ruin it for the fans who want to experience a football game and not to have to endure political statements.

"Performing arts world?!" Whaaa? I'm sure POTUS is greatly relieved... Yo, yo ~ Yo mamma is so fugly, she scared the shit out of the toilet! HA! :O)

[nopardons]

I grew up listening to Jascha Heihfetz, he was a genius violinist.

I've heard the yo-yo a couple of time. Yo yo is NO Heifetz and I would want to him to play for me on my deathbed, nor any other time!

[rainee]

I can’t take anyone named YoYo seriously

[Empireoftheatom48]

I don’t think Trump GAFF, I know I don’t.

[Eddie01]

Is he related to Yakof Smirnoff?

[thesearethetimes...]

Complete agreement FRiend. Sad, to witness how the group think continues unabated.

[nwrep]

Yo Yo is a cellist, not a violinist.

[nopardons]

Oooooooooooooooooppppsss...wrong instrument. :-(

Heck...Morey Amsterdam was better cellist than the yo-yo and funny to boot!

[nopardons]

See my post after yours.

I caught it, but sadly after I had hit "post".

I actually DO know better, but was POed and posted when I was seething.
