The Trump campaign may talk a big game, but when faced with potential legal action from Beyoncé, they folded like the ill-fitting, makeup-stained suit of their candidate.
On Thursday, the singer issued a cease and desist to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign after spokesperson Steven Cheung posted a video on social media featuring Trump deplaning in Michigan, soundtracked to Beyoncé’s song “Freedom.”
“Freedom” is, of course, the official campaign theme song of Vice President Kamala Harris — a choice that Beyoncé personally approved.
While the Trump campaign video was an obvious attempt to troll the Harris campaign, Trump seemed unwilling to face the potential consequences of a Beyoncé lawsuit. Within hours of the cease and desist, the video was taken down.
Trump is still facing possible legal action from Taylor Swift after he falsely claimed the singer’s endorsement via a series of AI-generated images posted to his Truth Social account.
