Rod Stewart says his friendship with Donald Trump over.
The 80-year-old British singer and the 79-year-old President used to be friendly and often hung out together as they’re neighbors in Florida.
However, in a new interview, Rod said that he no longer considers Trump a friend because of one policy decision he doesn’t agree with.

The “I Don’t Want to Talk About It” singer explained that his home in Palm Beach is very close to Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago resort.
“I live literally half a mile away,” Rod said. “We’re both on the beach. I used to go to his Christmas parties. He’s always been a bit of a man’s man. I liked him for that.”
The Grammy winner went on to note that some of Trump‘s behavior has rubbed him the wrong way.
“He didn’t, as far as I’m concerned, treat women very well,” Rod said. “But since he became president, he became another guy. Somebody I didn’t know.”
Also in the interview, Rod condemned Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu‘s violent attacks in Gaza.
“What Netanyahu is doing to the Palestinians is exactly what happened to the Jews,” Rod said. “It’s annihilation, and that’s all he wants to do — get rid of them all. I don’t know how they sleep at night.”
