(though that might get into trouble with his erstwhile bandmates ). Bit of a shame really as I think their No1 Gold would be a fitting song for the orange man. What about that old Tango ad 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea of the legitimacy of this tale, but The New Republic does score high for factual reporting on Media Fact Check The Dark, Neo-Nazi Origins of Trump’s Migrant Pet-Eating Conspiracy The New Republic A new reports exposes how exactly this conspiracy about a small town in Ohio began. While the exact origin of the rumor is unclear, it was at least amplified and spread by the neo-Nazi group. In late June, local Facebook groups in Ohio were posting about Haitian children chasing geese and ducks. In the next few weeks, darker rumors spread about the ducks and geese going missing and possibly being eaten by Haitian immigrants. In August, Blood Tribe picked up on the rumors and started posting about them on Telegram and Gab. Members of the racist organization marched in Springfield in Ohio in early August and spoke at some of the town’s meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did. He filed the lawsuit in 2020, the same year that Trump used his song. "A federal judge in New York has ruled that former President Donald Trump infringed on the copyrights of British-Guyanese singer Eddy Grant by using his Reggae-fusion hit Electric Avenue (1982) in a 2020 campaign video without permission... Grant, along with Greenheart Music Limited, had filed the US$300,000 lawsuit in 2020 after Trump used the song in a social media video featuring a “Trump” train outrunning a Joe Biden handcar."
