Intermediate 2018: – Trump music can not play: – Tragic

On Tuesday, it will be voted by politicians to all seats in the House of Representatives and one-third of Senate seats. During the election campaign, President Donald Trump sparked the mood of his statements on immigration policy, but refused to use music for at least 20 artists.

Rihanna rages

The last artist to give Trump musicnekt is the superstar Rihanna. She learned that the song "Do not stop the music" had been performed by Washington Post reporter Philip Rucker during an election campaign in Tennessee.

"It has been a million times earlier, but I can do it a million times: Trump's election campaign events do not look like anything else in politics." Chattanooga throws Rihanna on the theme "Do not stop the music", while the assistants throw free Trump T-shirts at the crowd, like a baseball game, everyone likes it, he writes. twitter.

This message was not very exciting to read:

– It will not continue. Neither I nor my people will ever be present, or around any of these tragic events. So thank you for telling me, Philip, she answers.

It is also worth mentioning that Rihanna, just hours before this event, declared his support for Democrat Andrew Gillums to choose Rick Scott as governor of Florida.

Rhetorical strengths

The controversial rhetoric of immigration is largely responsible for the resistance to Trump. Already in 2016, he mentioned Mexican immigrants as drug traffickers, criminals and rapists.

However, during this year's election campaign, rhetoric has been a little brighter. About a week ago, he shared on Twitter a critical video about racist immigration.

The video shows a clandestine immigrant in an audience room saying that he "killed the police and that he will kill more of them". Then it is written that "the Democrats let him in and let him stay". In the next clip, we show massive riots before a new message arrives: "Who else will the democrats release?" Donald Trump and the Republicans are making America safe again. "

On Monday, it was announced that Facebook, NBC, Fox News and CNN had decided not to send the video on their faces.

More music noises

It's far from the first time that an artist despises that his music is played during various events of the Republican election campaign. As part of the 2016 presidential election, 16 artists have asked Republicans not to play their music, according to the New York Times list:

The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Browne Jackson, John Mellencamp Cougar, REM, Eddie Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Sting, The Foo Fighters, Rage Against the Machine, Boston, Dropkick Murphys and Twisted Sister .

In addition, the family of Prince and Luciano Pavarotti have asked the Trump organization to stop playing their songs. In addition, Britain's Adele did the same.

"I do not really know, we have a lot of promotional videos, and they are definitely effective given the numbers we see.Many things are shocking … your questions are often shocking," Trump replied when he was confronted to the critique of Monday's commercial video.

The list has become longer

However, when registering the middle choice this year, the list became even longer.

A few weeks ago, artist Pharrell Williams asked Donald Trump to stop playing the song "Happy". It came after the song had been played during the election campaign, just hours after 11 people were killed during a shooting in a synagogue in Pittsburgh.

"Pharell has not wanted and will not give you permission to play his songs in public or otherwise diffuse his music," wrote Pharrell's lawyer, Howard King, in a letter to Trump, according to Time Magazine.

In August, Steven Tyler, the singer of Aerosmith, asked for the third time the president not to play his songs during election campaigns. It came after "Livin's On The Edge" was played at an event in Charleston.

"Trump does not have our client's permission to use his music, including" Livin 'on the Edge, "Tyler's lawyers wrote in a letter to Trump.
