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
isn’t
surprising
that
Trump
showed
such
open
disdain
over
the
use
of
free
speech
—
he
recently
spoke
about
“taking
the
freedom
of
speech
away”
without
so
much
as
an
oopsie:
“We
took
the
freedom
of
speech
away.”–
The
President
of
the
United
States.—

What
is
surprising
is
that
he
thought
that
he’d
be
able
to
use
Kenny
Loggin’s
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:
“This
is
an
unauthorized
use
of
my
performance
of
‘Danger
Zone.’
Nobody
asked
me
for
my
permission,
which
I
would
have
denied,
and
I
request
that
my
recording
on
this
video
is
removed
immediately.”
…
“I
can’t
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.
We’re
all
Americans,
and
we’re
all
patriotic.
There
is
no
‘us
and
them’
–
that’s
not
who
we
are,
nor
is
it
what
we
should
be.
It’s
all
of
us.
We’re
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.”
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
doesn’t
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.
