Trump’s Mar-A-Lago Playlist Revealed: ‘Deejay T’ Plays These Tracks 'So Loud’
Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Spotify playlist is filled with music superstars and classic hits of various genres, according to a report.
Citing an unnamed source from the former president's inner circle, Axios reported that Trump plays the same songs over and over again at his Palm Beach, Florida, resort and his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Trump reportedly uses his iPad to blast hits by Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones and more on the dining patio at Mar-a-Lago so often that he'd been jokingly dubbed "Deejay T" by guests, according to the outlet.
The former president allegedly doesn't bother lowering the volume of his music, which reportedly sometimes gets "so loud" that conversing guests can't hear each other.
Among Trump's playlist favorites are the James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti duet "It's A Man's Man's Man's World," Lionel Ritchie's "Hello," and two songs penned by Andrew Lloyd Webber, "Phantom of the Opera" and "Superstar" from the 1971 rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar."
"Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" by Elton John and "My Way" by Frank Sinatra are reportedly also mainstays of his playlist.
In addition, Trump is reportedly a big fan of Guns N' Roses' "November Rain," Presley's "Suspicious Minds," Metallica's "Enter Sandman," and Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire."
A recent addition to Trump's playlist is alternative rock band R.E.M.'s hit, "Losing My Religion," the source told Axios.
Some of the songs on his reported Spotify playlist have been featured at Trump's rallies -- to the dismay of the artists.
These include the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and Sinéad O'Connor's cover of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U."
The current GOP presidential candidate recently played O'Connor's No. 1 hit at his rallies in North Carolina and Maryland -- a move that the late pop singer's estate publicly opposed.
"It is no exaggeration to say that Sinéad would have been disgusted, hurt and insulted to have her work misrepresented in this way by someone who she herself referred to as a 'biblical devil.' As the guardians of her legacy, we demand that Donald Trump and his associates desist from using her music immediately," O'Connor's estate said in a statement obtained by the Associated Press.
The Rolling Stones also sent Trump cease and desist letters after he first used "You Can't Always Get What You Want" in 2016 and then threatened legal action after the Republican hopeful played it again at a 2020 rally, Billboard reported.
Here's the list of songs on Trump's Spotify playlist, according to Axios:
1. "Enter Sandman" - Metallica
2. "It's A Man's Man's Man's World" - James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti
3. "Hello" - Lionel Ritchie
4. "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" - Elton John

6. "Ring of Fire" - Johnny Cash
7. "Losing My Religion" - R.E.M.
8. "Nothing Compares 2 U" - Sinéad O'Connor
9. "November Rain" - Guns N' Roses

12. "The Phantom Of the Opera" - Andrew Lloyd Webber, Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum
13. "You Can't Always Get What You Want" - The Rolling Stones
Over the years, the Trump campaign has come under fire multiple times for using songs of certain artists at his rallies.
Aerosmith's Steven Tyler sent Trump cease and desist letters for using the band's songs "Dream On" and "Living on the Edge," according to CBS News.
Adele, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Panic! at the Disco and Rihanna also publicly opposed the Trump campaign's use of their songs.
Earlier this year, Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr slammed the GOP candidate's reelection campaign for playing the band's 1984 track, "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want," at rallies in New Hampshire and North Dakota.
"Consider this s**t shut right down right now," Marr wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
