You know you're a jackass when you piss off/steal from REM. I think there's a special place in Hell just for Trump.
R.E.M. Rebuke Trump: ‘Ghost This Faker!’
Earlier on Friday, President Trump tweeted out a meme that juxtaposes his recent State of the Union address with sad-looking reaction shots of lawmakers including Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Kamala Harris, over a soundtrack of R.E.M.’s 1993 hit “Everybody Hurts.”
The use of R.E.M.’s music was presumably very much unauthorized, and in a statement, the band made their feelings quite clear: “World Leader PRETEND!!! Congress, Media–ghost this faker!!! Love, R.E.M.”
