Nancy Sinatra has slammed Donald Trump for sharing footage of her father Frank performing his seminal hit, ‘My Way’.
Trump’s use of music in various campaigns has continued to court controversy. He played songs including ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ and ‘Start Me Up’ during his 2016 rallies, leading The Rolling Stones to follow in the footsteps of Adele, Neil Young, and Steven Tyler to request that he stop.
However, Trump continued to use the music as his campaign continued, and after winning the election and being sworn in as US President in 2017, he walked on stage at his inauguration concert to the band’s 1965 song ‘Heart Of Stone’.
This is a sacrilege. https://t.co/cPWoXiu0V6

More recently, a source close to Mick Jagger denied that he gave the producers of Melania permission to use ‘Gimme Shelter’ in the documentary.
On Saturday (April 18), the US President took to the Truth Social platform to share a nearly four-minute-long clip of Frank giving a live performance of his iconic hit. Shared without any context, many were left speculating what the meaning was, especially given it comes amid ongoing talks between the US and Iran.
Taking to X the same day, Nancy wrote: “This is a sacrilege.” The singer, actor, and author then responded to a user who asked if something could be done about Trump’s post, writing, “Unfortunately, no. The only people who can do something are the publishers.”
She also reposted a select few comments from fans who pointed out that Frank, who died at age 82 in 1998, would not have agreed with Trump’s actions in office.
“@NancySinatra will confirm again that her father loathed Donald Trump,” one post read, while another added, “Trump may love Sinatra, but Sinatra did not love Trump.”
