Not a 'Happy' Day

I was surprised to find out Pharrell Williams is able to sue Donald Trump for playing his music during one of his rallies. Although that was surprising it was not as surprising as finding out what song was played and when. On Saturday the 27th there was a mass murder of 11 people due to nationalist. On this same day Donald Trump hosted a political event in Indiana and played the song Happy by Pharrell Williams. Owning the exclusive rights to his song, Williams is able to decide when and where it is being played. 
I do not know what could have given the president the idea that playing the song "Happy" was a good idea.  There is nothing to be "happy" about after an event of such tragedy. If Donald Trump wants any part in being a president people can rely on when tragedies occur he must learn when it is not an appropriate time to play certain songs.

  1. I heard about this earlier this week and was quite impressed with Pharrell for standing up for both his rights to his music, as well as his strength in standing up to Trump for playing it at such an awful time. I think that he was completely justified in his actions, as well as the fact that Trump was beyond out of pocket for playing that song on the same day as such a tragedy.
