It seems strange to me that there are not far more people calling out Trump, condemning his stupid and illegal and immoral war against Iran, and his lying about the Epstein Files and bending over backwards to protect pedophiles (perhaps for good reason, given how often his own name appears there), as well as his general blatant corruption and failed presidency.
However, one group who seem to consistently condemn Trump would be entertainers, including actors and musicians. We have heard many people from the entertainment industry clearly and strongly condemning Trump and his administration, from Mark Hamill to Bruce Springsteen.
Add Nancy Sinatra to that list.
Nancy Sinatra is, of course, daughter to the famed Frank Sinatra, one of the most legendary singers in American history. Most would consider his voice unforgettable, and possibly even the voice that defined a generation. Not too long ago (just weeks), President Trump posted something on X with the musical accompaniment of "My Way," one of the most iconic songs from her famous father.
In her response, Sinatra could hardly be accused of being ambiguous:In her response, Sinatra could hardly be accused of being ambiguous:
"This is a sacrilege," Sinatra, 85, said in an X post on April 19 regarding Trump's use of her father's performance.
When another X user asked Sinatra if there was something she could do, she replied, "Unfortunately no. The only people who can do something are the publishers."
Clearly not a Trump supporter. And we likely get the feeling that she feels strongly that her famous father would not be on board with Trump, either.
Nor has she backed away from her strong position:
Sinatra's feelings seemingly did not change days later, reposting another user's post regarding the issue on April 20: "This is just sickening. Frank Sinatra would never have allowed that monster in the White House to use his music or put his lyrics in his mouth. Sinatra was a man of honor, a man who never had to lie about who he truly was because he WAS the greatest. trump is a loser."
Well, no arguments here.
Kudos to another artist who is standing up to the bullying fascist movement headed by this pathetic, small man who uses popular music to try and normalize him and his movement. In fact, there is nothing normal about any of this. Nothing acceptable about it, either.
