## Resource

Trump’s use of Noah Kahan’s “American Cars” on social media sparked backlash, as the Vermont-born artist firmly rejected any political association with the president, emphasizing artists’ right to control how their music is used. Though the track’s been removed from Trump’s Instagram, it remains live on the White House TikTok — reigniting debates over creative ownership and political messaging in the digital age.
