Marr joins a growing list of musicians who have publicly rebuked Trump for using their songs without permission at his political events.

  • Johnny Marr, guitarist for the British band The Smiths, has publicly objected to former President Donald Trump using the band's song 'Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want' at his political rallies.
  • Marr expressed his discontent on social media, stating that he never thought this situation could occur and demanded that it be 'shut right down'.
  • The song has reportedly been played at several Trump rallies, including events in South Dakota and New Hampshire.
  • It remains unclear what legal action, if any, Marr intends to take to prevent further use of the song at Trump's events.
