LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jack White confirmed that he’ll be suing Donald Trump over the use of the song ‘Seven Nation Army’ by his campaign team member.

"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.

Internet supports Jack White's decision to sue Donald Trump

Netizens shared their take on the recent unauthorized user of music by Donald Trump's team. Many urged Jack White to hold the former president accountable over the song's usage. 

One user took a jibe at Trump over Instagram, saying, "That guy never concerned himself with consent."

"Get em Jack! Thank you for using your influence for good and speaking out for those who aren’t granted the platform 💯," a second individual said.

Another voiced in support, "Get him Jack! This man needs to be held accountable for what he’s done to this country and to its families!!"

"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?"
