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.

...And what's with Imam Stipe?
I thought it was very funny.
Good. Good. Bring more attention to it.
Peter Buck blew up, doesn’t even look like him. Bill Berry bowed out in the 90’s. I have a feeling he might have been the only even keel member politically. Retired to be a Georgia Farmer.
I liked the idea of showing all those sourpuss Dems (with a few RINOs. I didn’t care for the singer’s voice.
But I can still enjoy their anger at being featured.
Yep. Didn't he have a brain aneurism or something? Almost died? Said, "Screw this! I'm a millionaire. I'm gonna go chill out."
For those who don’t twitter
(or also in case they do remove it)
Here is a youtube version

Looking at the replay of some of president trump’s statement I felt a great fondness for him.
I think that’s normal under the circumstances
So there
Thanks for this. Very funny! I noticed Romney’s sour puss was included with all the sourpuss Democrats.
Is that a nose ring with the guy on the left? Why the hell does he need one? Just to look cool which shows he blows with the wind and has no values. I can’t even think of a song by them I enjoy. Try and clean your nose with one of those. Does it hurt when your nose runs from a cold? I can only guess a tissue is useless.
They got their spines and their Orange Crush, b!tches! Take it down! /sarc
President Trump retweeted it. Has Jack ever removed any of President Trump's tweets?
I'm wondering if he had his lawyers cut a quick check to Universal?
President Trump continues to use songs long after musicians have complained about it and asked him to stop. He doesn't care. As long as usage license costs have been paid to the publishing house, it's within his rights.
I was at Bill’s neighbor’s house outside Watkinsville in the late 90’s. He rode up on a 4 wheeler when we were on the back porch. We drank beers way into the night. Totally normal fella.
Looks like a snotty nose
Khomeini lives!
I think “Michael Stipes Meat Pipe” would have been a better band name for REM
Yah, sure, washed-up haz-beens - they’ll remove it after Trump has tweeted it to 60 million people!
Great song! I actually like R.E.M. Not this song though. Too soft and sappy. I like their guitar-driven songs more. They were a great band back in the day.
I notice Romney’s applause was absolutely tepid.... he looked more constipated than even most of the Demoncraps.
Trump can shitpost with the best of them.
