GOP’s Donald Trump has been trying to solidify his Presidential poll lead by wooing voters with Adele’s songs. An easier list to compile would be the artists that Trump hasn’t annoyed during his stint as a contender to be a contender for the US Presidency.

Given that Adele doesn’t like endorsements to begin with, fans openly questioned whether Trump had actually received her permission to use her music, and you guessed it: she said no way.
The statement comes after representatives for Adele, whose music has also been used at Trump rallies, issued a similar declaration, telling WENN, “Adele has not given permission for her music to be used for any political campaigning”.
Gloria Steinem recently shared her choice words on Republican nominee hopeful Donald Trump, and it seems singer Adele is similarly unimpressed with the businessman.
Aerosmith’s front man and former American Idol judge, Steven Tyler and REM’s Michael Stipe aired disagreement for the president candidate’s use of their music in his campaigns.
Virginia Sherwood/AP Adele has not given anyone permission to play her music at campaign events.
That being said, there’s always room for an artist to complain that their image and reputation is being damaged by the repeated use of a song without their permission.
Tyler’s attorney slammed Trump saying that using the band’s famous track, Dream On “gives the false impression that he is connected with or endorses Mr Trump’s presidential bid”.

And some fans were not pleased with the Trump connection. One fan of Adele’s said of Trump, “Wish he would drown in the deep”. In addition to that whole Iowa caucus thing, Trump has continued having difficulty finding a theme song for his campaign, with countless musicians having pulled their music, reports BBC.
