Part of being sworn in as President is a promise to uphold the Constitution. Few things undermine a promise to uphold our Supreme Law quite like using your social media presence to broadcast fantasies of being crowned king and dropping shit over citizens exercising their right to free speech:
It bears repeating: when people show you who they are, believe them. It isnât surprising that Trump showed such open disdain over the use of free speech â he recently spoke about âtaking the freedom of speech awayâ without so much as an oopsie:
âWe took the freedom of speech away.â
â The President of the United States.

What is surprising is that he thought that heâd be able to use Kenny Logginâs music for shitting on America propaganda without getting an immediate cease and desist letter. NPR has coverage:
In a statement sent to NPR Monday morning, Loggins wrote: âThis is an unauthorized use of my performance of âDanger Zone.â Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately.â
âŚ
âI canât imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. Weâre all Americans, and weâre all patriotic. There is no âus and themâ â thatâs not who we are, nor is it what we should be. Itâs all of us. Weâre in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us.â
Wow, even rock stars handle even handedness, unity and peace better than the President. The last time Donald Trump had the opportunity to do so on a national stage, he decided to use the time to talk about how much he doesnât want good to befall his enemies.
Kenny Loggins is not the first well known artist to stop Trump from using his music for political ends. In fact, we at Above The Law created an entire playlist of musicians that have either politely asked or upped the ante enough to sue Trump over using their music on the campaign trail or at political events: you can listen to that playlist here:
Expect to see Danger Zone on the list once I get around to remembering the log in credentials.
