If you listen to the non-radio stuff, they aren’t terrible, perhaps even quite good in spots. Trump, and the majority of his supporters, remains ■■■■■■
The retweet is still a copyright violation - the source is irrelevant (and in this rare case, I don’t particularly care that trump did this - it’s a fairly common issue that anyone could easily run afoul of). If it was not a copyright violation because it wasn’t an original post, that would pretty much invalidate all copyright law and protections.
And no, I really don’t expect people to check everything they repost/retweet, but if the original is a copyright violation they shouldn’t be upset when the repost is also zapped as it is still a copyright violation.
A short little segment of a song like that, the way it was use is typically “fair use” of a song. If Trump didn’t create it, and it was just a regular person who did. Shouldn’t be a copyright violation.
“Typically.” That usually just means the copyright owner didn’t sue. Using even a snippet of a copyrighted work without permission is a violation unless it is specifically used in a manner that falls under the “Fair Use” exceptions. Guess what? This wasn’t one.
Not true. You put a song like that on a video, any video regardless of length with that kind of distribution then it’s gonna get pulled. It happens all of the time.
