\n\tIn the offending clip, which was posted to Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung<\/strong>\u2018s X account, \u201cFreedom\u201d plays over footage of the Republican presidential candidate stepping off a plane. The video arrived long after the song had become the official theme song<\/a> for the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris<\/strong> and her running mate Tim Walz<\/strong>, with Vice President Harris playing the song at her first presidential campaign rally earlier this summer after President Joe Biden<\/strong> dropped out of the race and endorsed her candidacy. The Harris-Walz campaign\u2019s use of the track, including in multiple campaign ads and at the Democratic National Convention<\/a>, has been done with Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s permission.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs of this writing, the Trump video using \u201cFreedom\u201d remains on Cheung\u2019s X account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is far from the first time Trump has run afoul of an artist for using their song at campaign events and elsewhere without permission. On Aug. 11, lawyers for the Isaac Hayes<\/a> estate filed a notice of copyright infringement and threatened further legal action against the Trump campaign over its use of Hayes\u2019 \u201cHold On, I\u2019m Coming\u201d at multiple Trump rallies without authorization between 2022 and 2024. Other artists who have objected to Trump\u2019s use of their songs over the years include The Rolling Stones<\/a>, Rihanna<\/a>, Adele<\/a> and Aerosmith<\/a>\u2018s Steven Tyler<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
