Trump goes against everything that Frank stood for. He was a big champion for equality and supported the Civil Rights movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She replied: &#8220;This is a sacrilege.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nancy voiced her frustration that she was unable to do anything about Trump sharing the video.<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked by a social media user if she could get it taken down, she replied: &#8220;Unfortunately no. The only people who can do something are the publishers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nShe also reposted a fan\u2019s tweet that read: \u201cTrump may love Sinatra, but Sinatra did not love Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nNancy previously insisted her father &#8211; who died in 1998 aged 82 &#8211;  &#8220;loathed&#8221; the former Apprentice star.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn December, she commented on a video of ICE officers confronting construction workers.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe wrote: &#8220;This is not my father\u2019s America. He would be devastated. Trump is so wrong in so many ways.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nSomeone then replied: \u201cYour Dad would have loved Trump.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBut Nancy hit back: &#8220;Do some homework before you make a fool of yourself. My dad LOATHED Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nA host of musicians have previously complained about Trump using their music including Johnny Marr, The Rolling Stones and the Village People, as well as the estates of the late Sinead O&#8217;Connor and Tom Petty.<\/p>\n<p>\nTom&#8217;s widow Dana, ex-wife Jane and children Adria and Annakim previously slammed the president for playing I Won&#8217;t Back Down at a campaign rally.<\/p>\n<p>\nThey said in a statement: &#8220;Tom Petty&#8217;s song &#8216;I Won&#8217;t Back Down&#8217; was used  at Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign rally in Tulsa, OK.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Trump was in no way authorised to use this song to further a campaign that leaves too many Americans and common sense behind.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Both the late Tom Petty and his family firmly stand against racism and discrimination of any kind.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Tom Petty would never want a song of his used for a campaign of hate. He liked to bring people together. Tom wrote this song for the underdog, for the common man and for EVERYONE.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe family again stressed they hadn&#8217;t been &#8220;complicit&#8221; in the song being played and revealed they had sent a legal notice to the president&#8217;s campaign organisers ordering him not to use the music again in future.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe statement continued: &#8220;We want to make it clear that we believe everyone is free to vote as they like, think as they like, but the Petty family doesn&#8217;t stand for this.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We believe in America and we believe in democracy. But Donald Trump is not representing the noble ideals of either.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We would hate for fans that are marginalised by this administration to think we were complicit in this usage.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Concurrently, we have issued an official cease and desist notice to the Trump campaign. Adria, Annakim, Dana and Jane Petty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nTom died from an accidental overdose in October 2017, aged 66.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/nancy-sinatra-hits-donald-trump-frank-sinatra-tribute-1440974.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 April 2026 Nancy Sinatra has blasted US president Donald Trump for his homage to her late father, Frank Sinatra.
