Good for you, Tom❤️💕

I hope Paul McCartney does too

So petty.

Does TomPetty Estate realize how pompous & ridiculous it sounds?

These people are so petty. 🖕

Oh look at petty behavior from petty family. No wonder I don't listen to that Crap.

Feck off

Tom Petty sucked and so did his music so who cares 🤦‍♂️

Not only did they use Tom Petty’s song without permission they also used Paul McCartney’s Hey Jude without permission as well.

Good. I don't like that song or Petty in general. He never could sing.

All trump knows is how to do ilegal things and the sad part we the people are letting him get away with it . Let’s stop him now .

Super petty!

Tom Petty being petty

🙄

Is Donald Trump suppose to be ignorant of copy right laws! He has neglected to get permission or to pay for the use of other people’s property, as if he is entitled! Thank You, I could have cried when I heard Petty’s song start to play, I turned the television off. Thank You!

If the song was paid for on a download site there's nothing they can do LOL

In all things great and small They believe they are above the law

Sue them

Just like in VeepHBO

Why not play Kanye instead?

Let's find Navy Vet Deanna Brooks from the NPR story Zoom Call Eviction Hearings. She's in Collin County Texas & needs help w/rent and is on the verge of eviction! She doesn't deserve to be homeless, no veteran does! Retweet, let's help this Vet! USNavy NPR HelpNavyVetBrooks

Seriously. I am so confused! I subscribe to Amazon. The song is in my playlist. Am I next to get a cease and desist letter? I ask where is the line? AmazonHelp

I was so disappointed to here his song being used. Glad they did not approve of it.

Sad, Trumps message is opposite of racist!

Oh come on, Free Falling? TrumpMeltdown VoteOutTheGOP

Ohhhhh... Who gives a shit. NBC hates Trump so much they jump to anything. Get over it cupcakes, he will win again.

Well that hasn't worked for The Stones yet... Can't always get what you want plays at every damn event.

News flash. They have no standing as they do not own the rights to his music. Universal does. More fake news.

Sue them!

Please pay my music begs Ted Nugent🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🧐

Will The Kinks let China Joe Biden use their song “State of Confusion” at his events.

tompetty thank you

Really? Who give a sh*t!

Omg I just can’t! It’s raining spiders on poor poor realDonaldTrump

They should also bill them for having used it.

Bonnievee2017 Of course trump and repubs would steal Pettys song. They are theives dirty as fleas.

The Trump rally already happened and the music was kick ass so thanks. Give my best to Tom...no wait. Nevermind. Trump2020Landslide TrumpRally

I’m surprised they weren’t using Petty’s song Refugee

Lmao they gotta stick to kid rocks garbage

Ahh, somebody had to post it 😂

Trump better start writing his own songs no one wants him to use theirs

Smh

very petty indeed, grow up!

Good for them!!!!!

Sorry but Trump is too busy 'Running down a dream!'

It’s probably for the best......

🙄

That seems pretty Petty of them

GOOD FOR THE PETTYS. TOM IS MISSED.

Do you ever notice - Trump campaign never gets pre-approval for the music they play.... typical

Here’s goes another triggered leftists meathead. President Trump wouldn’t have this issue if he was black. That being said TP is just another racists hoping to keep the thugs “blm” on his back. He will learn they don’t care and they will come after him. A has-been singer

Truth is, they already KNOW that using songs without permission is illegal. They do it anyway, knowing that nothings going to happen. But for them to use James Brown The height of irony.dickmovesondisplay

It's not the first time trump has done this. Why not sue him?

Good.

Even in death, Tom Petty doesn't support trump.

2017

you can't always get what you want

Why? Trumps the man. Tom wake up!!!

Talk about petty! 😂😂

Petty

They won’t listen cause they are thieves and criminals

He needs to have someone write him a song for the campaign titled I'm a FAKE or BUNKER BOY

They can’t even use songs legally. “Law and order.”

Best song for Trump. Wont back down!! MAGA!!! Of course the Dems do not like it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Sue trump, he would sue you in a heartbeat! Sue him !

That's good. Lets see if Sir Elton John and the Village People think the same. Their songs were also played in Tulsa at Trump rally.

I love it!

Wasn't this already an episode of Veep? With the part of Jonah Ryan now being played by Trump.

Villagepeople YMCA wish you guys would have stood up against Trump and the Republicans from using your music as well ! tompetty family ,thank you for keeping the legacy of Tom from being used by people Tom would have never supported !

So that’s big news, NBC needs a total makeover starting with Lester, chuck for sure, and the whitehouse reporters!!!

If Trump pays, he can't stop it

Petty is well named.

joshgroban You should be next!

His campaign is certainly not about hate! It’s about doing right and being free.

President Rump and his sycophants have got some nerve. Sue their asses.

Lol, so much Winning LoserInChief realDonaldTrump‼️😂😂😂 TomPetty
