Or dick punched, I'm not sure which. I just know I feel sick, nauseated, and so confused. I have no idea what the fuck is going on any more.

Like the hypocritical fools they are they use other people's property without permission...they did it with the rock band Heart, Twisted Sister, Bruce Springsteen, tons of others.

I am sure Brian May will ask them to quit using his music. Brian is one of the good guys and I am quite sure this clown show isn't something he wants that epic song to be equated to.

I’ve had an avalanche of complaints – some of which you can see in our ‘LETTERS’ page – about Donald Trump using our We Are The Champions track as his ‘theme’ song on USA TV. This is not an official Queen statement, but I can confirm that permission to use the track was neither sought nor given. We are taking advice on what steps we can take to ensure this use does not continue. Regardless of our views on Mr Trump’s platform, it has always been against our policy to allow Queen music to be used as a political campaigning tool. Our music embodies our own dreams and beliefs, but it is for all who care to listen and enjoy.
