“[Artist] tells Trump to fuck off and stop using their music.” has become a meme at this point.

You tell ’em Jack. Time for crowds at Harris/Walz rallies to start chanting 7 Nation Army.

I’m surprised the Village People have never gone after him but maybe they just think a bunch of horrible bigots dancing to gay anthems is funny.

Thank you Jack, you were our Voice today
I’m gonna go turn on some music and burn one

It begs the question of why a person would support Trump when that person’s favorite musicians, favorite actors, favorite cultural icons despise the dude. Trump doesn’t participate in your life in any meaningful way.

I hope Jack makes good on his threat and sues the s**t out of the entitled POS Oompa Loompa.

You are welcome to use the many public domain songs… such as “O Tannenbaum,” “Good King Wenceslas”… “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.

So the obvious question at this point is:
Why aren’t these musicians’ producers suing Trump? There’s a clear pattern of copyright infringement. Maybe they care more about Trump winning than their own IP?

The funniest / saddest part of all this is how Trump and his campaign never use music from the artists who openly and proudly support him, like Kid Rock, Trapt, Ted Nugent, Billie Ray Cyrus, [and others](https://www.billboard.com/lists/musicians-endorsing-donald-trump-president-2024/lil-pump/). That has to be quite the kick in the nuts, and yet their loyalty to him never wavers. It’s fucking pathetic.

Because the guy who wrote “white Americans, what nothing better to do? Why don’t you kick yourselves out, you’re an immigrant too” is definitely a Trump supporter

Trump has always been known for his deep abiding respect for consent.
oh wait, no, i was confused —- it’s exactly the opposite:
# “Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll”
Finally someone with some balls, keep calling them fascists.

He keeps using music without permission.

Why don’t they just play kid rock and Kanye?

I guess now that he’s getting sued by the musicians the musicians realize they can finally force a politician to stop.
Seriously, “Republicans play music that angers musicians, especially when the song was a bad fit anyway” has been going on since the Reagan campaign played “Born in the USA.”

Another election year, another round of musicians pissed off at Republican campaigns. It’s like cherry blossoms in spring at this point.

In 2020, (i think, maybe 2016) trump used a White Stripes song and Jack White called him out then sold merch that said “Icky Trump” on it, as a play on the WS song Icky Thump.” he donated every penny to democrats. i have the tshirt.

ALL of these musicians need to band together and bring a class action lawsuit against him.

That should really sting Vance and Et al.

I suspect they have enough members by now!😋
Icky Trump
After the Foo Fighters lawsuit from a few days ago, my wife asked me who all the musicians who’ve spoken out against Trump using their music were. I was impressed to find out that Wikipedia has a page dedicated to the subject, [and it is long](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicians_who_oppose_Donald_Trump%27s_use_of_their_music).
>…White, one-half of the rock duo The White Stripes…
Lol they haven’t been together for well over a decade.
Preach
“Don’t even think about using my music you fascists”
Tell us how you really feel, Jack.
He needs to stick to kid rock.
I’m gonna fight ‘em off
Who’s paying the ASCAP fees for all this music being used?
At this point the musicians might as well start a class action lawsuit against the Trump campaign.
