The publisher of rock band R.E.M.'s music asked Twitter to remove a satirical video clip containing one of the band's songs that President Donald Trump's account tweeted Friday, CNBC has learned.
A lawyer for Universal Music Publishing Group reached out to the president's preferred social media platform asking that the video be removed, said a source familiar with the situation, who asked to remain anonymous.

All of R.E.M.’s songs are maudlin and sappy.
Its back again
Looks like they complied and pulled it... Says unavailable to me now, would almost be surprised if it does not disappear from youtube also now.
I only went looking for it because I wanted to share it with people that did not twitter...
Not for me, it still says “not available in your location” — so maybe the rights issue is varied, but I am in USA.... I know it can vary in different countries but I’m not seeing it in USA.
Take rock band away from the description. more like a snowflake fem band
I guess it was restored because the Presidents tweets are official records. So glad so many more are now watching it thanks to the idiocy of the dude from REM!
Re-release the video with a new audio track from a band that doesn’t have a ____ stuck up their butt.
It’s awesome watching sanders turn purple with rage when the President says we’ll never be a socialist country.
LOL!!!
HE BROKE ME! Mike Mills of REM loses his mind over CarpeDonktum meme
they can get tweeter to kill it under some whiny terms of use clause but they can’t stop it from other platforms unless they whine to them also
That Donktum is a really talented guy!
Btw—PDJT just tweeted Donktum’s R.E.M video, AGAIN. LOLOL
Oops, it’s a different version with Lee Greenwood. Still LMAO
