“[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.
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.
I hope Jack makes good on his threat and sues the s**t out of the entitled POS Oompa Loompa.
Just stick to country. Is this really that hard?
You are welcome to use the many public domain songs… such as “O Tannenbaum,” “Good King Wenceslas”… “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.
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.
Edit – typo
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.
Kid Rock in tears rn
I’m just glad to see Mr. White describing Trump so accurately!
Jack White really…really hates Seditionist Trump
Oh yes he does
Fuck those 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.”
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!😋
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).
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.
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.
The Trump campaign is going to have to resort to Public Domain music pretty soon.
A Sousa march anyone?
Hey, Jack. Sue donald if you want me to believe you. It’s the only language he understands.
Icky Trump
Trump will always have that one Lee Greenwood song, Bawitaba by Kid Rock, and Cat Scratch fever by Ted Nugent.
InB4 Trump’s campaign has to use the same selections IASIP uses to avoid copywrite.
