    Trump played it because the word "Halleluiah" appeals to the Christian right. (even though the song is about the search of faith and failing to find it)
    He didn't even know the words or the rhythm
    He probably used Wainwrights version because he thought it was much less known/famous !!!

    EVERY single musician who he DISRESPECTS by thinking he’s is entitled to use their song, has sent him a cease and desist. They need to FILE a lawsuit to make him STOP!!

    When I heard the beautiful cover of Cohen's Hallelujah I thought two things; How did clueless Trump even know about such a classic song and, "I'm sure Trump's team never bothered to get permission!" Actually, here's a third thought - Trump and his morons very likely have no concept of the depth of meaning contained in those verses.

    He deserves more than a broken hallelujah.

    Trump is using Hallelujah because he thinks he is pandering to “his evangelicals,” who have referred to him as “God’s chosen one.”
