R&B Singer Attacks Trump for Using Hit Song in Campaign Ad - The Daily Beast

R&B singer JMSN is blasting Donald Trump for using his song “Love Me,” in a bizarre new ad glorifying the president.
Trump is also drawing scrutiny for using taxpayer dollars to produce the ad, which blares “Love Me” while touting his policies, despite a federal ban on spending public money for political promotion.
The 30-second ad, which debuted this week on right-wing news outlets, features a portion of JMSN’s song with a chorus singing “I’ll make them love me” over and over against a montage of the 80-year-old president.
“America will never be a communist country,” Trump says in the short spot, before UFC CEO Dana White gushes over the president: “He is the toughest, most resilient person that I’ve ever met, and nothing was going to stop him from fighting so hard for the country he loves.”
