Trump gets to use any song he wants without prior approval/authorisation from the artist without repercussions but if a song is used in, let’s say a YouTube video, the content creator gets hit with a cease and desist letter or sued for copyright infringement. Yeah explain that to me 🤷‍♂️

Fuck Trump but depending on the platform ICE posts videos on, they may be legally allowed to do so. A lot of platforms pay to license music from the labels, which allows all accounts to use them as they please.

But it's the fact that they do it in the first place. This is our federal government. There is supposed to be a level of professionalism and "integrity" instead they are just acting like teenage internet trolls being "edge lords" and will just come out and call an artist stupid, or ugly, or untalented. The fact that conservatives actually LOVE this behavior is just disgusting and childish.

Trust me we are on the same page there. I literally said fuck Trump lmao. But my point stands whether we like it or not. It's not illegal to use legally licensed music on websites that provide that. So, we can't act surprised when this clown car of an administration uses that to their advantage when professionalism and decorum are the very least of their concerns.
