Multiple songs, albums, bands and performances have referenced Donald Trump or his various brands, including Trump Tower, his TV show, his hotel chain, and his casinos. While recent songs refer to Trump's campaign, election, and tenure as President of the United States, more than 200 songs refer to Trump prior to his campaigns for president.{{cite web|last1=Bristout|first1=Ralph|title=38 rap references that display Donald Trump's fall from hip-hop grace|url=https://revolt.tv/stories/2016/11/02/38-rap-references-display-donald-trumps-fall-hiphop-grace-07003da490|website=Revolt TV|access-date=November 13, 2016|date=November 2, 2016|archive-date=July 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190701135228/https://revolt.tv/stories/2016/11/02/38-rap-references-display-donald-trumps-fall-hiphop-grace-07003da490|url-status=live}} Most earlier references to Trump in lyrics revolve around his status as a business tycoon, but then shifted toward a stance more critical of his politics as he attempted to attain public office. With his victory in the 2016 presidential election, Trump's prominence in hip-hop music has been likened to that of Ronald Reagan's in hardcore punk during the 1980s.{{cite web|last1=Barshad|first1=Amos|title=The Joy Of "Fuck Trump": YG and some goofy kids from Baltimore have the Trump catharsis you need.|url=http://www.thefader.com/2016/04/06/yg-nipsey-hussle-anti-trump-rap-songs|publisher=The Fader|access-date=November 13, 2016|date=April 6, 2016|archive-date=October 31, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201031004149/https://www.thefader.com/2016/04/06/yg-nipsey-hussle-anti-trump-rap-songs|url-status=live}}

Background

=Hip hop=

Trump's name first appeared in hip hop lyrics during the 1980s when he became an icon of the ultra rich. Among the earliest mentions of Trump in rap lyrics was the Beastie Boys' track "Johnny Ryall" on the 1989 album Paul's Boutique, in which they contrast Trump with his homeless alter-ego, Donald Tramp.

While many rappers early to this trend praised Trump's wealth, often as a means to compare their own financial aspirations or success to his, others used their music as a platform to criticize Trump's practices and politics.{{cite web|last1=Finley|first1=Taryn|title=67 Times Rappers Name Dropped 'Donald Trump'|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hip-hops-25-year-obsession-with-donald-trump_us_55d61727e4b055a6dab3524a|website=The Huffington Post|access-date=November 12, 2016|date=August 20, 2015|archive-date=December 24, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181224124923/https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hip-hops-25-year-obsession-with-donald-trump_us_55d61727e4b055a6dab3524a|url-status=live}} Among the earliest of these was The Coup from Oakland, California, who critiqued and mocked Trump on their first two albums released in the early 1990s.

ESPN's political site FiveThirtyEight documented that between 1989 and 2014, 19% of song lyrics about Trump were negative while 60% were positive. The 2010s marked a left-leaning political shift in musicians' attitude toward Trump as his presence in the public eye changed from that of a business tycoon to a politician, particularly one known for making controversial statements. Because of hip hop's close association with minority communities and its reinvigorated politicization with the Black Lives Matter movement, lyrical depictions of Trump rapidly grew to be more disparaging throughout his campaign and subsequent election as President of the United States.

Many artists have name-checked Trump in more than one song. Pre-presidency, Rick Ross had the most Trump mentions (nine songs between 2008 and 2015) with Nas running second (seven songs between 1996 and 2012). Other major Trump name-checkers include Migos (six songs between 2013 and 2016), Young Thug (six songs between 2013 and 2015), Lil Wayne (five songs between 2000 and 2012) and Raekwon (five songs between 1995 and 2012).

==Mac Miller controversy==

When Mac Miller's 2011 song "Donald Trump" became a Billboard hit, Trump released a YouTube video congratulating the rapper:

{{blockquote|A lot of people are calling me about the Mac Miller rap song. Now, it's named "Donald Trump." Maybe you should pay me a lot of money, but it just did over 20 million people, tuning into Mac Miller. So in one way, I'm proud of him. I haven't actually seen the language... Probably, it's not the cleanest language you've ever heard... But the "Donald Trump" song just hit over 20 million, that's not so bad. I'm very proud of him.{{cite news|last1=Zaru|first1=Deena|title=What hip-hop lyrics tell us about Donald Trump|url=http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/02/politics/donald-trump-rich-hip-hop-lyrics-rap/|access-date=November 26, 2016|website=CNN|date=September 2, 2015|archive-date=November 27, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161127151800/http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/02/politics/donald-trump-rich-hip-hop-lyrics-rap/|url-status=live}}}}

As the song garnered more plays, Trump took a more aggressive tone and demanded royalties for using his name, thereby starting a feud with Miller.{{cite magazine |last1=Makarechi |first1=Kia |title=Mac Miller, Donald Trump's Least Favorite Rapper, Revisits Feud |url=http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/01/mac-miller-donald-trump-feud |access-date=June 13, 2016 |magazine=Vanity Fair |date=January 25, 2016 |archive-date=October 1, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201001170233/https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/01/mac-miller-donald-trump-feud |url-status=live }} In early 2013, Trump taunted and threatened legal action against the rapper via a series of exchanges on Twitter. By 2015, Trump changed his attitude toward Miller again when he ended an interview with The Hill by praising Miller's song as it approached 100 million hits.{{cite news|last1=Cirilli|first1=Kevin|title=Trump praises rapper's "great" song about him|url=https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/248911-trump-praises-rappers-great-song-about-him/|access-date=November 26, 2016|work=The Hill|date=July 23, 2015|archive-date=November 8, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108130309/https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/248911-trump-praises-rappers-great-song-about-him|url-status=live}} Miller later appeared on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore to denounce Trump for his racial views during his run for president in 2016.{{Citation|work=Comedy Central|title=The Nightly Show – Mac Miller Unloads on Donald Trump|date=March 10, 2016|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm8ISls_TBA|access-date=October 3, 2018|archive-date=December 17, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201217082703/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm8ISls_TBA|url-status=live}}

On "The Ringer" from his 2018 album Kamikaze, Eminem apologizes for alienating fans who supported Trump, and says that he was questioned by the U.S. Secret Service for his seemingly threatening lyrics.{{cite web |last=Darville |first=Jordan |title=Eminem expresses regret for anti-Trump freestyle, claims he was questioned by Secret Service |url=https://www.thefader.com/2018/08/31/eminem-regret-anti-trump-freestyle-secret-service-interview |website=The FADER |access-date=May 14, 2019 |date=August 31, 2018 |archive-date=November 12, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201112034512/https://www.thefader.com/2018/08/31/eminem-regret-anti-trump-freestyle-secret-service-interview |url-status=live }} This led BuzzFeed to file a Freedom of Information Act request with the Secret Service to find out if the claim was true. In October 2019, the agency revealed that, in response to an email from a TMZ employee pressing the agency to investigate Eminem for his "threatening lyrics" about Ivanka Trump, they had conducted a background check and arranged an interview, in which the interviewers read the verse out loud to Eminem{{snd}}and he rapped along. The agency subsequently decided against referring the case to a federal prosecutor.{{cite web |last=Leopold |first=Jason |title=TMZ Emailed The Secret Service About Eminem's Trump Lyrics.

=Opera=

At the 2017 Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands, the American coloratura soprano Sara Hershkowitz performed György Ligeti's 1992 concert excerpts from his opera Le Grand Macabre, titled Mysteries of the Macabre, with the Noord Nederlands Orkest. She alluded to Donald Trump in three costumes which she changed on stage: a clown, baby outfit with a bottle, and a beauty pageant swimsuit, the last a reference to his previous ownership of the Miss Universe organisation.{{cite news
