The White House has shared a trolling response in regards to Kenny Loggins demanding the removal of the unauthorized use of his song "Danger Zone" in President Donald Trump's A.I.-generated video dumping what appears to be poop on protestors.

When ** contacted the White House with a request for comment about Loggins' statement, an official representative sent the *Top Gun* meme (below) in an email:

Trump posted a video on his Truth Social account on Saturday that showed him wearing a crown and flying in a jet labeled "King Trump" that was dumping a brown substance appearing to be feces on a crowd of protestors. The video used Loggins' hit song "Danger Zone," from 1986's *Top Gun* (as well as the 2022 sequel *Top Gun: Maverick*).

The timing of the video coincided with the sweeping nationwide No Kings protests taking place on Saturday, with nearly seven million people showing up to peacefully march against the Trump administration's policies.

On Monday, Loggins demanded Trump's video be removed from the internet.

"This is an unauthorized use of my performance of 'Danger Zone,'" Loggins said in an official statement on his website. "Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately."

Loggins continued, "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. It's all of us. We're in this together, and it is my hope that we can embrace music as a way of celebrating and uniting each and every one of us."

Loggins is just the latest in a long line of musicians to call out Trump for using songs without approval. Beyoncé, Celine Dion, Foo Fighters, Sinéad O'Connor's estate, Pharrell, Johnny Marr of the Smiths, Adele, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, Neil Young, Rihanna, Ozzy Osbourne, Nickelback, Linkin Park, the Rolling Stones, Panic! at the Disco, Queen, R.E.M, and the estates and families of Tom Petty, Laura Branigan, Prince, and George Harrison have all publicly slammed Trump for the unauthorized use of songs.

Still, Trump has continued to play many of their songs without permission at his events, as well as other artists' works.
