According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/style\/2024\/09\/10\/white-stripes-trump-jack-white-meg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><em>The Washington Post<\/em><\/a>, Donald and campaign Deputy Director of Communications Margo Martin were accused of publishing an online video featuring the former host of <em>The Apprentice<\/em> boarding a plane while \u201cSeven Nation Army\u201d played in the background.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">Per the court documents obtained by the publication, Jack and Meg alleged that Donald attempted to use their song for financial gain \u201con the backs of the Plaintiffs,\u201d which in turn is a \u201cflagrant misappropriation\u201d of their work.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">In a previous since-deleted X post, Jack threatened Donald and his campaign with a lawsuit in August. In his caption, the musician warned them not to \u201ceven think about using [his] music,\u201d calling the Republican candidate and his team \u201cfascists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-10\">\u201cAnd as long as I\u2019m here, a double f**k you DonOLD for insulting our nation\u2019s veterans at Arlington you scum,\u201d Jack reportedly wrote in the now-deleted post. \u201cYou should lose every military family\u2019s vote immediately from that if ANYTHING makes sense anymore\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Who Else Is Suing Donald Trump Over Music?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-11\">While lawsuits haven\u2019t been filed against Donald by every single musician, quite a few have publicly spoken out about the alleged unauthorized usage of their music. This past summer, <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/celine-dion\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><strong>Celine Dion<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s team <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2024\/08\/12\/celine-dion-slams-trump-for-unauthorized-use-of-her-song\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">called Donald out<\/a> for using her hit song \u201cMy Heart Will Go On\u201d in a social media video.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-12\">\u201cIn no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use,\u201d Celine\u2019s team wrote via social media. \u201cAnd really, THAT song?\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-13\">Shortly thereafter, <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/celeb\/beyonce\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><strong>Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> submitted a cease-and-desist letter to Donald\u2019s team for using her single \u201cFreedom\u201d in a separate social media video.<\/p>\n<h2>What Has Trump Said About the White Stripes Lawsuit?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-14\">No one from Donald\u2019s team has publicly commented on Jack and Meg\u2019s lawsuit at the time of publication.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/feature\/white-stripes-seven-nation-army-trump-lawsuit-5318826\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Image Credit: Getty Images The White Stripes just joined the list of musicians suing Donald Trump.
