Musician Pharrell Williams is threatening to take legal action against President Trump if he continues to use his hit song “Happy” at rallies. While such threats from musicians aren’t unusual, particularly for Trump, the circumstances for Williams’ letter are: the use of the popular song to energize supporters at a rally in Indiana a few hours after the horrific mass shooting at a synagogue by an anti-Semite.
In the letter, Williams’ attorney Howard King criticized the president for unauthorized use of the performer’s song and stressed the grim context of its use: the murder of 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Saturday morning — the worst massacre of Jews in American history.
