Overview
- Trump’s uncaptioned Truth Social video of Frank Sinatra performing “My Way,” posted Saturday, drew a swift rebuke from Nancy Sinatra.
- Nancy wrote “This is a sacrilege” on X and told followers she cannot force removal because “the only people who can do something are the publishers.”
- Reporting identifies Because Music and Primary Wave as the publishers that control “My Way,” and there was no public move by them reported as of late Monday.
- The episode fits years of pushback from musicians and estates over political use of songs, including objections from the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty’s family, and Sinéad O’Connor’s estate.
- Trump gave no explanation for the post, and online reactions speculated about motive, but outlets noted the meaning is unclear and the White House had not offered an explanation.
