Donald Trump and his minions have been hijacking the music of non- and anti-MAGA artists for years, using songs for their own purposes and without asking for permission. Rolling Stone has compiled a list of all the musicians who have been affected and have told Trump to cut it out.

  • The estate of Sinead O’Connor
