A Grammy-nominated artist from Vermont is none too happy with his president's musical taste.
After Trump used one of Noah Kahn's songs to promote a video, the Strafford, Vermont native complained to the White House.
"Would never approve of my music being used in support of you or this administration," Kahn posted on Trump's social media accounts.
Trump used Kahn's track "American Cars" as the audio for a recent video posted on the POTUS and White House Instagram and TikTok accounts, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
After Kahn complained, a presidential assistant wrote on X, "Symptoms of TDS apparently include having a northern attitude," referencing Kahan's hit song "Northern Attitude."
Kahn's breakthrough single, "Hurt Somebody," achieved gold status in the U.S. and charted in multiple international markets, according to Wiki.
Kahan was born in Strafford and grew up on a tree farm. His father taught him guitar and his mother writing.
He married fellow Vermonter Brenna Nolan last year and they live in their home state.
