Trump’s campaign co-opted the star’s song “Freedom” just days after accusing Harris of “copying” him.

May Beyoncé sue the orange turd into non-existence.

Honestly, he’s trying to get on the bad side of swifties as well… if he keeps being a shit heel maybe we’ll have a landslide of an election. I’d love to see him lose at a Mondale or McGovern level to just demonstrate how fucking repulsive the fuck is.

It just might bring back some political sanity.

Pissing off the Swifties and the Beyhive? Why not just go poke a polar bear in the eye?

It’s pretty clear that he has no clue just how much influence they have. I think he’s stuck somewhere in the 1980s and thinks in terms of Madonna and Michael Jackson, everyone else never existed.

How many people on the planet do you think could meaningfully impact the attention on the Super Bowl?

Taylor Swift did lol. And not by performing. Literally just because she was dating a player and at the game.

He knows and that’s why he wants it. He wants to be cool too. (And get those voters, because he thinks it works like that.)

I suspect that Trump doesn’t really know who she is. Someone fed him some AI garbage and he jumped on it.

Uh, if MJ or Madonna openly supported a candidate, that would be a landslide election.

He must be getting tired of Ted Nugent and Kid Rock. As far as I know those are the two main musical artists aligned with the Trump campaign. Maybe he should just stick with them or maybe he is also saying that their music sucks.

Suing the campaign staff individually could be far more effective. Don’t skip trump but instead of suing some nebulous team sue the individuals.

Unfortunately they can’t sue for that. The campaigns pay the major publishers for what is essentially blanket license to use the music they publish. Individual artists can’t stop him from using their music because they’ve already sold or licensed the rights out to the publisher.

Now if he does it without paying for the license, that’s another story.

Fortunately they can sue for that. The Trump campaign didn’t pay anyone for what is essentially license to use the music they publish. Several individual artists can and have already stopped him from using their music because he stole it, repeatedly.

Cool, isn’t this the track that also features Kendrick Lamar? Probably not a big deal, he’s not really known for speaking up publicly when he feels wronged, right?

This is it. It describes them perfectly. All they do is imitate the speech of their opponents. Projection and mockery using ideas that are not their own.

If you go by the song’s full lyrics, even that doesn’t fit. The person at least is acknowledging (right or wrong) that they are not worthy or great for the other, and just wishes they could be good enough. There is nowhere near that much self-awareness with Trump and friends.

“I want you to notice… when I’m not around…”

Cut to Harris smiling and waving with some of her campaign goals on screen

“You’re so very special… I wish I was special…”

Cut to Trump with his duck face pose, with various SA accusations, “grab them by the pussy” quotes, and 34 convictions.

“But I’m a creep… I’m a weirdo…”

Cut to Trump looking confused and tired.

“What the hell am I doing here?”

Cut to Trump standing awkwardly near previous presidents, or just a picture of presidents from both parties talking without him in it.

“I don’t belong here…”

Cut to sad dejected Trump

“I don’t… belong… here.”

Don’t give the fucking orange-cheeto nazi bastard any ideas. Unless he wants to play Electioneering, and then less than 1% of attendees would understand he’s admitting to his grift, stay the fuck away from Radiohead.
