Donald Trump Forced to Remove Twitter Campaign Video Featuring ‘We Will Rock You’ After Queen Complains

A campaign video posted on Twitter by President Donald Trump last week featuring the popular Queen song “We Will Rock You” was removed after the band’s publisher made a copyright complaint over its use.

The video, which was posted last Wednesday, showed Trump giving various speeches at campaign rallies, according to Buzzfeed. The visuals were accompanied by the song “We Will Rock You” in its entirety.

Shortly after the president posted the clip, a Queen representative told the news publication that the president was unauthorized to use the song and confirmed that they had “already entered into a process to call for non use of Queen song copyrights by the Trump campaign.”

“This is ongoing,” the representative added.
