Throughout his announcement that he’s going to run for the Republican nomination, Donald Trump used Neil Youngâs Rockinâ In The Free World. It’s a secure wager that Trump each had no concept what the music means and didnât get Youngâs permission to make use of his music.
Throughout a scripted second throughout his speech, Trump introduced that he was operating for president, pointed skyward, and Rockinâ In The Free World started taking part in.
Since Trump likes to steal music from artists, he once more illegally used Younger’s music during the 2020 marketing campaign, and Younger sued Trump.
