White House shares trolling response after Kenny Loggins demands removal of unauthorized use of 'Danger Zone' [View all]

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 Entertainment Weekly 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.
