"Oh....Don't even think about using my music you fascists. Law suit coming from my lawyers about this (to add to your 5 thousand others.)” White captioned. 

He further wrote, “Have a great day at work today Margo Martin. And as long as I'm here, a double f*ck you DonOLD for insulting our nation's veterans at Arlington you s*um. You should lose every military family's vote immediately from that if ANYTHING makes sense anymore."

Musicians who have threatened legal action against Donald Trump

There are already other musicians who have threatened legal action against Donald Trump recently over the use of their artwork during the campaign without permission.

The Trump campaign took down a video, in which Beyonce’s hit ‘Freedom’ song was used after she suggested legal action, reported Consequence.



 

 

Foo Fighters and ABBA have already demanded that Trump should stop using their music at his presidential campaign rallies.

"Thank you for speaking up Jack. It’s greatly appreciated," said a person.

One more comment read, "Thank you, Jack. This military vet appreciates you speaking up and taking a stand against this sorry excuse of a man."

"Don't stop until all that's left for him to play at rallies are Kid Rock and f*rt sounds," a user expressed.

Another curious user questioned, "His account didn’t post the video and with your song… it was another individual… so are you going to sue her instead?"
