It was to be an honor to play his music. I guess we will turn it off. No problem. Every Trump supporter will literally turn it off permanently.

[yolandaaguilar]

All Trump followers should NOT purchase or play that SONG anymore…if TRUMP can’t…neither should we…right❓

[jenniferconde]

That is petty. Well no one should listen to it anymore. Just block all Issac Hayes music

[glennstenbergkvist]

One would think the Hays family would be pleased to have Issac's songs remembered and exposed to people after being dormant for so long.

[GoingHome]

Your dad's music gets heard by millions through MAGA rallys. Now sadly nobody will listen to it.

[postulatingspin]

Remarkable that these guys are still on the Democratic Party’s plantation.

[A.Watson]

Sad! Music used to be for everyone, oh well!!

[dennisroitt]

Don't ever play Isaac Hayes. Ok. I got it. Protect the copyright and make no sales. Smart move???

[vegaswoman]

How Petty !! If it wasnt for Trump nobody would be listening to tht song .
Where the Black Rappers at ?
Those who support Trump should make their own version for Trump 🇺🇲❤️💯

[mablebeaverson]

Don't care. Trump will do fine without your music. Boo Hoo!!

[grunt]

Ok we wont listen to it anymore. Gotcha! Idaac hays got it. Wont forget it.

[alozano]

What an honor Trump played that song That Isaac Hayes The Third have done the stupidest message ever

[rickgarza]

I'll never listen to your tunes anymore now.

[RealRyanWorkman]

Mr. Isaac you wrote a great song. The great Sam Moore sang it for Presidents, including President Trump, and for all Americans. It's too bad you choose to be stuck on the DemoKKKrat Plantation. HOLD ON TRUMP'S COMING!

[zxipmky]

Good to know. I'll let my friends know that you don't want people listening to your music. I'll pass on the message. Don't listen to Hayes. Copy that. Easy to delete.
Their lack of tolerance is offensive to me.

[justnow]

I don't even see how you can stop somebody from playing music at an event that they are hosting it's like going to a wedding and telling somebody the DJ that you don't want them to play your music at that person's wedding it's very silly I don't even see how they were able to get a judge to even listen to this crap

[carolynpadrick]

Keep your song there are PLENTY OF OTHER SONGS THAT ARE BETTER

[grunt]

Wait doesnt he get money (royalties) of some type when more people use it or buy it or listen to it? Its that logic where hate blinds you for whats best in your life. These types of people must hate living..its sad😢

[gretanorman]

Guess who he's voting for... Yea just stay with the party that hates you.

[johne.]

Hayes doesn’t want his music made popular with half the country….? Ok
