Thank you for speaking out. I appreciate Rufus's gracious take on this, because he's right -- Trump looked like a broken man on that stage last night and could certainly use some prayer and self-reflection. But of course he won't because he's a narcissistic sociopath.
The fake empathy of the left is one of their most nauseating qualities and that's saying something. It's particularly evident when in the same sentence they switch to throwing around mental health labels.
I know... right? That is what people don't get. He is INCAPABLE of caring about anyone or anything other than himself because he is pathologically ill. We didn't pull this out of our butts.. this is coming from hundreds of mental healthcare experts who realize just what a danger this "man" is.
That's why he chose that duet with Luciano Pavarotti and James Brown. They are both not in the world anymore, and he thinks it is easy to use their fantastic collaboration without any problems or questions.
I'm sorry Rufus that he used your voice in that way. Hopefully you can get a bit of something somewhere down the line. I wouldn't hold my breath, but still, I hope for better days.
Their families can still go after Trump for using their music. Isaac Hayes is dead, but his family made Trump stop using his music earlier this year. No decent artist/artist's family wants to be associated with him in any way.
The Prince estate should sue for Trump using Prince’s song “Nothing Compares to You”. Prince wrote the song and composed the music. He allowed Sinead O’Connor to sing his song. The Prince estate should definitely sue his butt off for this.

Rufus has a daughter (his only child) with Leonard Cohen's daughter Lorca. This is a family matter. Rufus is also protecting his daughter's grandfather who wrote this beautiful song.
Build a special jail with gold bars and toilet seat with a bigly wall and sound system playing Black Sabbath six hours a day at 120 decibels. Stick him in there for at least five years solid.
I never heard of Wainwright before even though I love the song and have played Leonard’s version over an over. But I have an instant love for this man! Not because of his rebuke to Trump but listening to him I see him as someone I would love as a friend and to look up to. Don’t you Judy love meeting new friends even if you never meet them? I wish you the absolute best.
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 people think that's a "Christian" song and have NO clue what it's about. Yes it has references but NOT religious and that is according to Leonard Cohen, who is Jewish so he is NOT a Christian. Seriously.
Well, at least the Leonard Cohen Family Foundation has sent his campaign a letter to tell them to stop using Hallelujah. Jeez, he’s so disgusting. VOTE BLUE up and down the ballot. I’m in CA and got confirmation that my vote has been county. 💙💙💙💙💙
In 2016, when Trump was elected, Kate McKinnon opened SNL and sang HALLELUJAH . At the end, she turned toward the camera and declared: "I'm not giving up and neither should you."

Friends, vote up and down the ballot for the Harris/Walz team - our freedoms and democracy defends on it. Vote.
Democrats are destroying free speech and freedom in the name of political correctness. Stop striving to realize the world written in the novel 1984.
Prince wrote “Nothing Compares to You” and it was his song and his music. I’m sure he would never have allowed Trump to use his song for anything. Not in a million years.
He should be placed in a home
20-24 to life without parole in ADX Florence sounds good to me!!!!
He STOLE another song!!!!
Hope he owns the rights and can sue
Just the mechanical rights to the recoding perhaps, which would be enough.
Of course he does. There are 2 IP rights: Leonard Cohen's (estate's) rights as the composer, and this guy's rights over his own recording of it.
He is part of Leonard Cohen's family. The mother of his daughter is Leonard Cohen's daughter Lorca.
He does whatever he wants.
He has ted and kid, use them
Sue this horrible man bankrupt him again with court judgments
Funny how copyright, or any other laws, just do not apply to donOld. 😢😢😢
Explains the face makeup, hair dye, hairstyle, 3 wives.
What's a woman?
@@Her.Serene.Feline.Cuteness. Not you.
@@Her.Serene.Feline.Cuteness. He probably could be described as one.
@@leannevandekew1996Explain. Insults are not debate.
@@leannevandekew1996Who? Do you think the word woman is an insult now?
Lol, nutty Kristi Noem is looking like, he's nuts.
Well said Rufus!
Based on his supporters looks, Trump could have really made them happy if he played Dueling Banjos!
Perfectly stated!
Hatred remark. Hope you don't pass it to your children.
@@ReneeinVirginia Trump taught me...
"They're eating the dogs, the cats, the pets."
"These migrants will walk into your kitchens and cut your throats."
"These migrants are vermin."
"They're poisoning the blood of our country."
I'm sure my little Dueling Banjos remark flew right over the heads of the Cult45 real hatred remark lovers.🤣
@@ReneeinVirginia I'm sure those that loved Trumps "Those migrants are vermin poisoning the blood of our country" remark will find humor in a little Dueling Banjos association. 🤣
from Deliverance the movie
As soon as I heard the song I knew Rufus would flip. He hates Trump. He wrote a song about him called “The Sword of Damocles”. Way to go Rufus!
This man has no couth whatsoever! Never ceases to absolutely disgust me!! 💙💙💙💙
You Tell Em Rufus!!
He's so senile he's got nothing to say.
You People are "CRAZY" !
You people? Who do you mean?
@@truepeacenik
TDS is a "Psychological Disorder"...
Nasty thing is he's putting up their fists like fight this weird it's really strange we don't know what these people are going to do next stay safe everybody
Rufus has a daughter (his only child) with Leonard Cohen's daughter Lorca. This is a family matter. Rufus is also protecting his daughter's grandfather who wrote this beautiful song.
Trump's whole life is blasphemous, his entire existence mocks God.
He’ll soon be reflecting on his life whilst looking at bars!
He breaks copyright all the time. He doesn’t care he just takes.
trump needs to spend about 14 days in jail. Paying a fine will NOT stop him......
Build a special jail with gold bars and toilet seat with a bigly wall and sound system playing Black Sabbath six hours a day at 120 decibels. Stick him in there for at least five years solid.
why only 14 days?? unless you meant 14 years - which still doesnt seem long enough!
More like 14 years…
He’s beyond help. He needs to be institutionalized or better yet go to jail. 😂😂😂
Leonard Cohen would NEVER have supported Trump 🇨🇦🍁
I just threw up in My mouth a little... 🙄
Imagine Trump's grubby little fingers dripping with ketchup as he accidentally presses the nuclear button.
I knew there was no way Rufus would have agreed to his song being played.
Leonard Cohen composed 'Hallelujah'. His daughter & Rufus co-parent Cohen's granddaughter.💙💙
I never heard of Wainwright before even though I love the song and have played Leonard’s version over an over. But I have an instant love for this man! Not because of his rebuke to Trump but listening to him I see him as someone I would love as a friend and to look up to. Don’t you Judy love meeting new friends even if you never meet them? I wish you the absolute best.
This shouldn't surprise you he is deplorable he gets away with it because this is what his cult wants.
Can Harris be a cult
He played a song, get over it
@@icedcoffee9937 hit a nerve.
One of my favorite songs ‼️
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 !!!
Kid Rock is the only music he can play without problems, enough said!
Thanks,You guys !!!
sue him
Isn’t that Kristi Noem know the woman who murdered her dog?
Rufus with the two-tone sideburns
I'm not a Christian yet I still find it disrespectful. Trump will get his retribution one day.
Christian? Leonard Cohen was Jewish and the biblical references are from the Old Testament. 🙂
@@LindaVernon Thank you
I call this Trumps new show…”Dancing with Dementia “ 🤣🤣😳🤦🏼♀️‼️.
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!!
It’s like 25, now, 25 Artists, such an entitlement bunch of babies.
Three words: Cease and desist.
When people think that's a "Christian" song and have NO clue what it's about. Yes it has references but NOT religious and that is according to Leonard Cohen, who is Jewish so he is NOT a Christian. Seriously.
Trump dances like a small dog paddling in mid-air whilst being held over a body of water!
No substance no policies and no clue
Well, at least the Leonard Cohen Family Foundation has sent his campaign a letter to tell them to stop using Hallelujah. Jeez, he’s so disgusting. VOTE BLUE up and down the ballot. I’m in CA and got confirmation that my vote has been county. 💙💙💙💙💙
In 2016, when Trump was elected, Kate McKinnon opened SNL and sang HALLELUJAH .
At the end, she turned toward the camera and declared:
"I'm not giving up and neither should you."
Trump? Blaspheming? But he's a Christian!
😆
😂
As in really??😮
