“LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH!” Trump said in the now-removed post.

This might soothe their butt-hurt over him using their song.

I’m one of those who downloaded the song. I think it’s quite good.

The only way I know about Nickleback is they were the butt of jokes between my kids and their cousins back in the day.

It could have been the idiots in Nickelback, but more likely it was the record label. I don’t care if they made some sales. Trump’s post was highly successful and he got tons of free publicity, too.
