Donald Trump has been feuding with former Beatle Paul McCartney for years because of McCartney’s former criticism of Trump governing like a “mad captain.”

Trump, who never lets anything go, still periodically insults McCartney, and regularly implies McCartney’s success as a singer-songwriter was overrated.

The following are Trump’s top insults for McCartney:

The Beatles are the most undeservedly famous band in history! Their music isn’t catchy at all! Their songs are all trash except the one that goes ‘She was just 17, you know what I mean?’ I totally know what they meant on that one!”

‘‘Hey Jude,’ ‘Get Back,’ and ‘Let It Be’ are all tied for the worst songs ever written! How do people call these songs masterpieces? More like mastercraps!”

“‘Eleanor Rigby’… more like ‘Eleanor KILL ME!’”

“I always thought Ringo was the best songwriter and singer in the group.”

“‘Can’t Buy Me Love?’ Are you kidding me? I buy love all the time! And then I pay extra to keep the girls quiet! I thought Paul McCartney was rich… I guess not! Maybe that’s why he wrote the song ‘Penny Lane!’ If I had written it, I’d have called it ‘Hundred Dollar Lane!’”
