Shame, I love hearing that song wherever and whenever it's played. Now songs are being made political too.This is why everyone is stressed. Can't enjoy, music, award shows, sports because of politics turning them into weapons.

And, This Is Not NEWS

Damm that gay reporter from cnn just wont stop

Sorry it’s a free country! You are a public celebrity can’t chose who listens or plays your music? I’m sure he paid a fee. Give me a break!

Fake outrage by a liberal who’s 15 minutes of fame will be up soon.

You mean he’s not on board with Kanye? What a surprise.

No fake happiness from Trump

Who cares. Move on. Let’s see something relevant. This fluff news is unnecessary.

Pharrell who? LOL

Good. Totally inappropriate, especially after a mass murder.

Pharrell Williams should take a long walk off of a very short pier

so much for music as an expression that nobody should judge...this act indicates its not about the art, but about the politics...which means his art is GARBAGE

Yes, I’m sure the President requested that himself...🤨

Boohoo Pharrell Pharrell u don’t want the best President ever to play your song! Well how about realDonaldTrump Mr President in your next meeting the people starts singing the happy song! What is Pharrell going to say? Oh I don’t want people to sing my song...cry baby

Wonder if he played it from a radio station

Sure, uh okay. Are we suppose to be affected by your goofiness. Well not.

He needs to stop selling his music in the public domain.

🤦‍♂️😂🤡

Oh well. There are a lot of singers that would love to have Trump use their songs.

Thats okay But I have ceased listening to his so so voice

What an A-hole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems ironic that the old dude (Potus) would even play that song at his rallies when all that comes out of his mouth is negativity, fear, division and hate. Not very 'happy' to me.

Why is the orange buffoon playing music from a minority artist? He hates minorities. Oh yeah, forgot about Kanye 😂🤣

Really? Hahaha..

TIME TO STOP WATCHING “THE VOICE”

It’s a shame Pharrell not thinking straight. He must be drinking the evil Koolaid. He must be watching fake news on CNN, MSNBC and NBC. My favorite patriotic song is “Proud to be an American. “ I have no doubt you’ll find another great song, someone will be proud to share

Republicans: healthcare isn’t a right, buy it yourself. We’re the law and order party! Also Republicans: how dare you not let me hijack your intellectual property! Copyright what? trumpsux

Good👉 now POTUS can use only artists that LOVE USA all artists are ‘Proud to be a FREE AMERICAN’ and want USA TO STAY a Nation with Borders submit your music to potus!! realDonaldTrump TuckerCarlson seanhannity MAGA ccot tcot

Thank God! Sick of that dumb song!!!!!

Pharrell has no say in the matter. The song is in the public domain and can be played by anyone who wishes to.

Says the man that had to pay off Marvin Gaye’s family for stealing his music to make “Blurred Lines” hypocrite MarvinGaye GotToGiveItUp blurredlines

Womp womp.

Tell Pharrrell to 💩 in his big hat.

He’s only squawking because he is a one hit wonder and like all washed up entertainers, they use trumps name and notoriety to get noticed.

You should be happy he’s playing your song! No one else is!! hasbeen

Nobody hates like a black liberal musician

Dishonest fake president.

If he would have done any research, he may have found that he is accusing the wrong person(LIKE MANY OTHERS) of choosing that recording, and it may not have been on TRUMPs favorites List!! GovMikeHuckabee realDonaldTrump

Good!

This is a fairly easy solution. Boycott

I just threw out my copy

Haha wtf was he playing that bs anyways. The only song Weird Al made better.

I wouldn’t have used his song to start with.

Well then I’ll never listen or buy a thing from him again

Won't be long and realDonaldTrump will have to walk on stage playing a flute himself

There's a whole lot better songs for Trump rallies than that one.

Fu*k pharrell

Sorry it’s our there for sale and use. He can stick it in his celebrity ear!

I once like Williams. Not any more

Please bull shit

That's fucking hilarious

This has been tried before! If he or his campaign bought the music no matter how CD, iTunes or how ever he can play it , if not then take your music off public market and sale it privately! DONT BE A BITCH !

That’s some petty bull shit

Lol

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸vote blue November 6th

He should be grateful that anyone is still playing it at all!

FU Pharrell

Again, someone Politicized the Pa Mass shooting. Trump haters don't stop and think about families of victims before they act. If the families were offended over a song they'd have said so. Pharrel Williams, quit defending your hatred for the Pres. by using victims as a defense.

I guess he doesn’t want his song to be heard by anyone. That’s the only time I ever hear It played

i will not be supporting his music anymore. simple.

POTUS Stop playing that song! He doesn't care how MANY people can live better and how many jobs there are for EVERYONE now available!! He's just following the left and liberal crowd and we do not need the music of someone who is stuck in one frame of mind representing us!

Trump can play any song he likes at his rallies, no matter Pharrell. President Trump is doing an amazing job with world relations, economy, job opportunities, trade negotiations, and soon the border. The RED wave is coming.

After countless rallies, now he’s upset?!

WvuTrophy Who?

I’m surprised the Rolling Stones let him use their song... The more accurate song to use at his rallies would be “Sympathy for the Devil”... Trumpgate!

Amazing how the left always takes anything POTUS does or says out of context. My advice Mr President; Play Lee Greenwood’s Proud to be An American. 🇺🇸 and that will still upset the left..which makes us “Happy “ 🇺🇸

Petty..

What a jerk!

I’ll be sure Pharrell never sees one penny of my money.

Farrell Williams, Laugh now and cry later.

Didn’t he steal that song in the first place?

Don’t want to hear that music anyway.

Good he's a has been. One hit wonder

Well just what did Pharrell Williams do to show his concerns over the murders. A lot of BS and nothing original. He’s got the hat but no cattle.

Pay the man, that's all he wants.

king Pharrell Williams. The best gift to send a parasitic Obama 2015 law sodomite, ignorant atrocity advocate Donald Trump in fact is. The best copy of certified world history textbook. He is one of the greatest 509 BC cuop criminal hater killer of Gods Royal African people

Get ready for Ted Nugent and Kid Rock for the rest of your lives, enjoy. Or just pretend on twitter.

His options are narrowing. Looks like he might have to stick to “Cat Scratch Fever.”

If it wasn’t for Trump people would never know who this Pharrell Williams guy is, the only one hit wonder by a no name artist

time for some Lynyrd Skynyrd

What a joke . 😎🙃😉😄😀😃😂😁😊 now

DeplorableChoir realDonaldTrump now that liberal musicians won’t let him use their music you might have an in. 😊

I don’t blame you Pharrell. Love your song 🌼

Im pretty sure 97 Percent of Trumps educated voters, do not listen to music this Fool makes., this was a 1 night thing.

Try “n words in Paris” by Kanye & Jay-z

Ok, Kanye it is then 😁

His music sucks anyways

The war these entertainers and ultra leftists are waging against our President is spoiling the Apple. We don’t want the hatred from them it’s become an everyday thing hate hate hate. These moguls do not have a clue in what keeps this country safe. We want safety in our country

Oops sorry Pharrell! We did not know your music is good for only half of our American population! How low can you go?

Leftists don’t want to spread happiness because they only know anger. The song is thus one that he perhaps should not have made

BoycottPharrell

Pure idiocy

The left's puppets don't understand how replaceable they are.

kanyewest learn something from a true black guy,

After you go to the store buy a song these jackass's now want to tell people when and where they can play it. Go to hell.

Why do these artists not understand how licensing works? Once Trump pays the license Williams has no control.

I've wanted Pharrell to cease-and-desist with that damn song for years, and he didn't, so this is just turn about is fair play! SuckItPharrell

Pharrell Williams is a moron, he clearly doesn't understand the 1st Amendment rights 'anyone can play his music for anyreson!' cease-and-desist isnt cover under 1st Amendment, then again I dont Listen to Pharrell Williams 🐶💩that he calls music-'Not by choice' 🎼👂

Williams is a nobody and should stay quiet

Awesome song 👍👌

SusanKingsleyW Ew.

If you don’t want your music played then stop making it! You can’t pick n choose who can and who can’t play your shitty music

How about American Badass by KidRock Lets just shut these people up. playitloud liberaltears maga

GOOD

We should all do as Pharrell requests and not listen to any of his music

Boycott Williams

My son's 8th grade band got to play it at multiple concerts and a parade...and did not get a cease and desist. Maybe because the director went through the right channels and ASKED first. This isn't trump's first cease and desist either.

Now I feel the need to play Happy for my neighbors while I wear my Trump shirt and wave my American flag. MAGA 🇺🇸

What’s the big deal?

Pharrell Williams's music that was played at a MAGArally on Saturday---wasn't appropriate for a President who KEEPS HIS PROMISES! He uses words like b---tt and I'm bad---

You would think that he would be thrilled that someone besides his family actually heard one of his songs.

Pharrell Sent Trump Cease-And-Desist Letter For Playing ‘Happy’ After Synagogue ShootingPharrell sent Trump cease-and-desist letter for playing ‘Happy’ after synagogue shooting 😭😭😭 Pharrel loves our parody of 'Happy.' Trade-off? He can use it at any time without a cease and desist letter from WBC. GospelMusic Hating Trump has become a 'Trend'. I guess he should find out ALL the radio stations that played his song that day and criticize them to.
