  1. “[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.

    “Let’s play music by artists who think we are the terrible people we actually are.” – The Trump Campaign

    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.

  5. At this rate, all trumpy will be able to play at his klan rally…er…i mean moron gatherings…oops, i mean little get togethers, will be old kid rock cuts.

    Thank you Jack, you were our Voice today

    I’m gonna go turn on some music and burn one

    Edit: huh, I had no idea he did a song with Beyonce 🤣

    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.

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

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

  10. 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?

    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

    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.”

  13. 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.

    “Keep using the music, boys, liscense be damned! They can’t sue us while we’re in the White House! HANIBAAAL LECTOOORRR!!!”

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

    I suspect they have enough members by now!😋

    >…White, one-half of the rock duo The White Stripes…

    Lol they haven’t been together for well over a decade.

  18. “Don’t even think about using my music you fascists”

    Tell us how you really feel, Jack.

  19. At this point the musicians might as well start a class action lawsuit against the Trump campaign.
