Apparently, Trump is renowned for cranking up the music at his clubs in Florida and New Jersey. In fact, he's not shy about hopping on stage with his iPad to spin some tunes. Regulars at his club have even bestowed upon him the nickname "Deejay T." But it's his playlist that really steals the show; it's a diverse mix of artists and genres, ranging from Elvis Presley to Guns N' Roses.
From OK! Magazine:
According to outlets, Trump's playlist comprises classic hits like the "Phantom of the Opera," "Jesus Christ Superstar," Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds," Lionel Richie's "Hello," Guns N' Roses' "November Rain," as well as the James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti duet "It's a Man's Man's Man's World."
"You know what gets 'em rocking? 'Y.M.C.A.,'" Trump said during a recent interview with the NELK Boys in 2022. "'Y.M.C.A.,' the gay national anthem. Did you ever hear that? They call it the gay national anthem. But 'Y.M.C.A.' gets people up, and it gets 'em moving."
"I've always had a high aptitude for music. But I love great music," Trump explained.
Artists like Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, and R.E.M. have reportedly sent cease-and-desist notices to Trump, asking him not to use their music at his events and rallies. Despite this, The Village People have not raised concerns about Trump using their hit songs.
"Like millions of Village People fans worldwide, the president and his supporters have shown a genuine like for our music," the band said in a statement in 2020. "Our music is all-inclusive, and certainly everyone is entitled to do the YMCA dance, regardless of their political affiliation."
