Johnny Marr is TradeEdgeasking Donald Trump to please, please, please put an end to using The Smiths songs at campaign rallies.
Marr, The Smith's guitarist, reacted to a video showing Trump using the band's song "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" at a rally in South Dakota last year.
"Ahh…right…OK. I never in a million years would’ve thought this could come to pass," the British rocker wrote on X Wednesday. "Consider this shut right down right now."
USA TODAY reached out to reps for Marr to comment.
Political reporter Ben Jacobs said on X Monday that the former president has been using "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" to warm up crowds ahead of his rallies, including one in Laconia, New Hampshire.
Trump has a growing list of artists who have issued cease and desist letters for his use of their songs at rallies without permission, including The Rolling Stones, Linkin Park, John Fogerty, Neil Young, Rihanna, Pharrell, Steven Tyler and more.
Jimmy Kimmel takes on New Hampshire's Republican primary between Donald Trump and Nikki Haley
Trump and fellow presidential hopeful Nikki Haley went head to head during the New Hampshire Republican primary.
Jimmy Kimmel cracked jokes about the pair on Tuesday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" declaring that voters had to choose between "the woman who would become their party’s first-ever female nominee for president or the first guy on trial for defamation related to sexual assault."
"Haley had a unique advantage in New Hampshire because, like the state, her initials are 'N.H.,' which after tonight will stand for 'not happening,'" Kimmel quipped.
The late night host went on to show an interview with Trump on Fox where he declared that he's much "sharper" than Haley despite his age and challenged his opponent to an aptitude test. "She's not gonna win," the former president said.
Jimmy Kimmel slammed Aaron Rodgers:When is it OK to not take the high road?
"The two of you need to sit down side by side, live television — not so close he can cheat off you, but pretty close to each other," Kimmel joked of the hypothetical aptitude test. "We’ll put a divider between you so he doesn’t get chicken-nugget grease on your dress, and let’s find out whose brain works better. We’ll call it 'Cognition Impossible.'"
Kimmel added: "I bet he couldn’t pass the quiz on a Denny’s place mat."
