That one.
I don't think Freddie would approve.
It'll be interesting to see what Brian has to say about it.
Queen’s Brian May denies Donald Trump permission to use band’s music at events

As a man more disliked than Nickelback, it’s no surprise to learn that Donald Trump is having a tough time finding music to soundtrack his improbable presidential campaign. Over the past few months, Drumpf has used songs by Adele, R.E.M., and The Rolling Stones, only to receive cease and desist notices from each artist. Neil Young did grant the Republican candidate permission to use “Rockin’ in the Free World" but he also called Trump a misogynist and racist, so there’s that.
Last night, after winning the final wave of Republican primaries, Trump took the stage to Queen’s “We Are the Champions". Co-founder Brian May has since a responded in a statement posted to his website. Spoiler: He’s not pleased.
“I’ve had an avalanche of complaints – some of which you can see in our ‘Letters’ page – about Donald Trump using our ‘We Are The Champions’ track as his ‘theme’ song on USA TV," May said. “This is not an official Queen statement, but I can confirm that permission to use the track was neither sought nor given. We are taking advice on what steps we can take to ensure this use does not continue. Regardless of our views on Mr Trump’s platform, it has always been against our policy to allow Queen music to be used as a political campaigning tool. Our music embodies our own dreams and beliefs, but it is for all who care to listen and enjoy."
It'll be even more interesting, or dismaying, to see what happens to his polling numbers after this week.{edited to change what was a stupid title - not that this one is much better. I mean really, how many people remember Johnny Carson.}
Oh jezz, do we have a short attention span or what?
Here we have the greatest show on earth unfolding and it’s a yawn?
But, it keeps getting “better”.
Melania Trump's Convention Speech Lifted Phrases From Michelle Obama's 2008 Address
by Claire Zillman

Melania Trump’s much-anticipated speech to close out Day 1 of the Republican National Convention is making waves for all the wrong reasons.
The address was an opportunity—as Fortune‘s Tory Newmyer points out—to humanize her husband, whose boisterous public persona sheds little light on the man he is away from cameras and microphones. His wife, a former supermodel from Slovenia who’s been largely absent on the campaign trail, missed that chance and then some. ...
In a prerecorded interview with NBC before taking the RNC stage, Trump said that she wrote the speech “with as little help as possible." Though Trump campaign spokesperson Jason Miller released a statement early Tuesday morning praising Melania Trump’s address as “beautiful," and noting that her “team of writers took notes on her life’s inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking." When Fortune asked the campaign to comment on the plagiarism allegations, a spokeswoman referred to Miller’s statement.
On CNN Tuesday morning, Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort denied that Melania Trump’s speech had stolen language from Obama’s 2008 remarks. “There’s no cribbing of Michelle Obama’s speech," he said, explaining that Trump’s address featured “common words." When CNN anchor Chris Cuomo asked again about the plagiarism allegations, Manafort said, “I mean, she was speaking in front of 35 million people last night. She knew that. To think that she would be cribbing Michelle Obama’s words is crazy. This is once again an example of when a women threatens Hillary Clinton, how she seeks out to demean her and take her down. It’s not going to work."
“From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily lives. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son. And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."
At the DNC in 2008, Michelle Obama said:
“Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you’re going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them, and even if you don’t agree with them. And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children — and all children in this nation — to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."
May I introduce to you, the next President of the United States. . . . . . ;-P

TP also stands for toilet paper. A fitting symbol.
