Twitter has removed a Donald Trump campaign video from the president’s account after Queen complained about unauthorised use of the band’s song “We Will Rock You.” The entire song played in the background of the video, which showed clips of the president at rallies, and was tweeted by Trump Wednesday. Earlier this year, Twitter jettisoned a Trump campaign video featuring music from “The Dark Knight Rises.” Queen complained to Twitter Wednesday, shortly after Trump posted the ad, The Independent reported. A rep for Queen told me tonight that the band “has already entered into a process to call for non use of Queen song copyrights by the Trump campaign. President Trump played Prince’s “Purple Rain” tonight at a campaign event in Minneapolis despite confirming a year ago that the campaign would not use Prince’s music. pic.twitter.com/FuMUPzSWOe — Prince (@prince) October 11, 2019
