  1. Wainwright sent a Cease and Desist Letter to Trump following his lame ass townhall turned geriatric dance party.

    Sinead O Connor’s Estate has also responded. Asking Trump to STOP playing her music.

    Axl Rose of Guns n Roses hasn’t responded as of yet, but I believe he is a staunch Anti-Trumper. So we could see something on that front soon as well.

  2. He’s literally aspiring to be Henry VIII
    “Play me your music and shut the fuck up humpty”

  3. Also the irony of the sign in the background
    “Trump was right about everything”

    Greatly bigly not a narcissistic statement at all while doing the same lame 2 step he’s on video doing at epstein parties in the 80s to music from musicians who’ve sent him a cease and desist order to stop playing their music.

  4. Dude. Wainwright has SONGS about BEING GAY. About HOW HARD IT IS TO COME OUT. Jesus Christ. Fuck Trump.

  5. I think he stole Hallelujah because Kate McKinnon performed it as Hillary on the first SNL after he won. Which is why I can’t hear it without crying now. Dick.

  6. I was pretty shocked hearing that song play in the clip of that bullshit I saw. Glad to see the artists ain’t on board.
