Kenny Loggins shuts down Donald Trump’s use of ‘Danger Zone’ in controversial AI ‘dumping’ video: “Too many people are trying to divide us”

Kenny Loggins has hit out at Donald Trump for using his song ‘Danger Zone’ in a controversial video regarding US protests.

The classic ‘80s song was heard playing in a video shared by the US president on his Truth Social account over the weekend. In the clip, a version of Trump made using artificial intelligence was seen wearing a crown and flying in a jet labelled ‘King Trump’. While in the jet, he is seen dumping sludge onto a crowd of people protesting in the streets.

Now, Loggins has criticised the president for using the song without asking for permission, and expressed his frustration at being tied into an online post that is made with the “purpose of dividing us”.

Trump doesn’t cause division, he reveals it.

Actually replacing the Loggins song with “America My country ‘tis of thee” would be informative because that tune was originally from “God save the King”
The change in lyrics makes the point that US threw off King George and became a republic.
Most of the protesters and much of the media don’t know that.

Virtue signaling from someone in the entertainment business?

Sounds like Kenny Loggins wants to bend over backwards to prove that he is liberal. He wants to publicly express that he is outraged that the hated Trump would use his music.

He can’t “shut down” anything. Not his song and not Trump’s meme.

Yep

I actually like a lot of his music, like so many others whose politics are a 180 from mine.

I have to force myself to disregard their moronic proclamations lest I spend the rest of my life listening to Anita Bryant and Pat Boone.

I think it’s not public domain,but if one pays for the royalty (whoever owns it now), it’s free to use for whatever they want.

Just more “fakery” from fake news, basically a fake headline, the article supports nothing of the headline

I saw it on Gutfeld! last night. I was not expecting that. Essentially, it’s a big middle finger to the “No Kings” crowd.
