You’re correct. What is not correct is the belief that a deceased artist’s song is not protected and falls into public domain to be used by anyone without compensation being paid.

I’d like it if Trump highlighted the music of people who do support him. Why give anti-Trump people like Tom Petty’s family free publicity?

Likely that the venue has purchased the rights to it. They do that with thousands of songs, every venue.

A good point...I don’t enjoy hearing from those anti-Trump singers...Why give them publicity...

I don’t think Ted Nugent will complain if his songs were used...

Not Tom Petty, the name should be Petty Tom.

How I see it.

The Trump administration has some work to do. First the impression I get is that Trump is flat footed with his game or on his heals. I am not seeing a clear message and action plan.

His rallies are a way to get his message out to the public. The media covered some of what he said for their own reasons but there is no guarantee this will happen again. And there is still a large portion of the population that still gets their news from them.

Why Trump is on his heals is obvious, just the shear mass of people opposing him for their own special interests or personal gain is overwhelming and quite a few of these people were trusted by him just a short while ago.

The message he is giving appears blunted and muddled. Maybe he has brought in new people to advise him and they are not in agreement or some of the old ones have left the building I do not know.

It is not enough to just say I did a good job before and Biden is lost. The American people want to hear an agenda and since he is currently President they want to see an agenda pushed forward even though it may be symbolism over substance.

General public agenda should involve economic recovery and jobs, virus vaccine, bringing back law and order in the streets protecting the neighborhood, and dealing with racial tensions.

Base issues: Updates on the wall, judge selections (going forward with do not tout Gorsuch he is out of favor at the moment.). Dealing with China and the communists.

Need to bring more Hispanics into the tent, need to have a message for them as well.

Need to ramp up better messaging in social media. Need to get your message before the fold.

Bringing back order in the streets need to be now and not later, why the guard has not been federalized I am not sure. The fear of the people losing their freedoms? Have a talk with the American people let them now you will only authorize o for a month at a time.

Ask sporting events for a moment of silence before the Anthem is announced be a conciliator with solutions.

Trump, or anyone, anywhere, can say anything, and some ass hole is going to claim he said it in a song, and claim a copyright violation. F them.

They probably did, but the family needs its daily dose of liberal virtue-signaling.

The Democrat campaign is the campaign of hate. The Trump train is the campaign of unity.

Maybe you are thinking of Pat Toomey?

Makes my day when hateful racist elite leftists blow their cover and expose their contempt for U.S. citizens.

Wondering if they’ll treat Biden the same way when he uses Petty’s “End of the Line” in November?...

Tweeter and the Monkey Man would be more fitting.
