""I can't imagine why anybody would want their music used or associated with something created with the sole purpose of dividing us. Too many people are trying to tear us apart, and we need to find new ways to come together. We're all Americans, and we're all patriotic. There is no 'us and them' that's not who we are, nor is it what we should be.""
""In the fake video, a crown-wearing Trump is in a fighter jet emblazoned "KING TRUMP." Accompanied by Loggins singing "Danger Zone" a hit single from the 1986 movie Top Gun the plane dumps sludgy brown material over crowds of protestors carrying American flags and signs in what appears to be New York's Times Square. The video was published as an apparent reply to the widespread "No Kings" protests that took place across the country on Saturday.""
A manipulated video posted on Truth Social depicts a crown-wearing Trump in a fighter jet labeled "KING TRUMP" dumping sludgy brown material over crowds of protesters in what appears to be Times Square while "Danger Zone" plays. Kenny Loggins stated the use of his performance was unauthorized and requested immediate removal of his recording. "Danger Zone" was written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock with Loggins as the performer. The video appeared tied to widespread "No Kings" protests, and there is historical precedent of musicians objecting to political uses of their work, though such use can be legal if rights holders are compensated.
