I don’t think Trump GAFF, I know I don’t.I’m certain that Yo Yo’s wishes won’t effect any “deathbed” plans DT might be considering.

He’s a Buddist socialist. I bet he looves the royalties from CD and ticket sales.

Yo Yo Ma is a remarkable cellist. A performance in a first class symphony hall is a very worthwhile experience, go if you have a chance. Offering political critical comments, however, is not in his wheelhouse. I have never liked Trump from a personal behavior standpoint, but the Trump that we see is designed to be effective in the business world and in politics. He is a much better performer in that arena than Yo Yo Ma is in his musical world. Trump has done more in less than two years than Obama and Bush together did in 16 years. I’ll take it and the pompous effete elitists can go and cry them to sleep. Better luck next election.

Thanks! :-)
I never did care much for the yo-yo's playing and now I loathe him as a person. This arrogant moron obviously doesn't realize that a LOT of Trump supporters also like classical music. OTOH...a LOT "elitist" lefties only pretend to like it.
To: nwrep
my favorite cellist just lost all my respect and all my disposable dollars for classical albums.

If Yo-yo Ma actually said that, it indicates that a lifetime of playing Bach as taught Yo-yo Ma nothing.What a shock! And I thought he was a highly evolved, intelligent man! Can he really be that stupid, that poorly evolved, that crass?
I do NOT believe that Yo-yo Ma would say such a thing as that. Only a stupid, depraved, hate-filled low-life would say such a thing as that, and that's not Yo-yo Ma.

#68:
"Yo Yo is a cellist." "Yo yo" is a fraud. If "Yo yo" were white and named John Johnson no one would pay attention.
Jacqueline du Pré was a cellist. "Yo yo" is no Jacqueline du Pré.

I mistakenly thought you were a
professional musician.
It appears that politics comes first with you. You're just another leftist hack.
