The History of Musicians Saying ‘Hell No’ to Donald Trump Using Their Songs

excerpt:

"It’s well-documented the extent of Trump’s fascination with Elton John, so much so that the singer getting name-dropped by Trump at one of his rallies is pretty much the norm at this point. It must add insult to injury knowing John is a noted Trump detractor who publicly denounced his songs being used in the Trumpian orbit, which came to light when the then-presidential hopeful would frequently use “Rocket Man” and “Tiny Dancer” as warm-up music for his campaign rallies — although John noted he had nothing but pleasant interactions with the man in the past. “I’m British. I’ve met Donald Trump, he was very nice to me, it’s nothing personal, his political views are his own, mine are very different, I’m not a Republican in a million years,” John said, before laying down a truly exquisite burn. “Why not ask Ted fucking Nugent? Or one of those fucking country stars? They’ll do it for you.” John would later go on to quickly deny Trump’s request to perform at his inauguration. America’s Got Talent contestant Jackie Evancho performed instead."

 

Another example of Trump's all-star live music lineup.

Funny How Trump Was Cool With Ted Nugent Joking About Killing The President | HuffPost

excerpt:

"“But on that note, I wanted to ask about Ted Nugent, who joked multiple times about assassinating President Barack Obama, who said Hillary Clinton should be hanged. He was invited to the White House for dinner by President Trump. Do you believe that was appropriate? And if Trump is offended by this incident, why was he not bothered by all of Mr. Nugent’s comments?”

Spicer all but balked at the question.

“I’d have to look back and see what those statements were and what the reaction was at the time,” Spicer said.

Nussbaum gave an example: when Nugent said that Obama should “suck on [his] machine gun.” Spicer had no answer and moved on to the next question."

 

Ted Nugent: “If Barack Obama becomes the next president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”

Oil surges after attacks disrupt Saudi supplies

excerpt:

"The jump in prices went from about $12 to $71.95 a barrel as the market opened in Asia Monday is the largest in dollar-terms since futures began trading in 1988, according to the news outlet.

The attack was claimed by Houthi rebels in Yemen, who launched two drone strikes against two oil refineries in Saudi Arabia. One of the refineries is the largest crude-processing facility in the world.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Iran of being behind the attacks. Tehran has denied the allegations.

Bloomberg reports the attacks mark the single worst sudden disruption ever, eclipsing the loss of Kuwaiti and Iraqi petroleum supply in 1990."

 

Pompeo is already blaming Iran for the attack on Saudi oil equipment.

Trump has his Sharpie pen ready to doctor images.

Trump could always rehire Bolton.

 

How convenient...They have been wanting to bomb the shit out of Iran for months.

 

A couple weeks later US government just releases images from the same super dooper satellite anyway

 

Come on, dems or reps in charge you guys are going to side with Saudis if its Saudi Arabia vs Iran

Price of crude oil jumped ip 19% after this attack, is this the part where we all criticize the government for all being about the oil, but then bitch about the greedy oil companies when gas goes up 30 cents a gallon?

 

PS: pretty freaky resolution with that satellite

 

Ok, have to admit to a deep belly laugh over that one
