Sources close to the band suggest that the dispute between The Rolling Stones and Donald Trump has taken an unexpected and potentially damaging turn.

The conflict centers on the use of a song by the band in a film about Melania Trump. Rumors suggest that the band was not impressed with the film, which may have triggered Trump's anger.

The fear is that Trump may retaliate, including targeting the band's ability to tour in the United States by raising issues related to their drug history and visa eligibility.

The Rolling Stones, with a long history of statements about drug use, have been critical of the former president.

In 2016, the band issued a cease and desist when Trump used the song 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' at a convention.

The band's representative even stated to Billboard: 'The Rolling Stones have never given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs. [The band] have requested that they cease all use immediately,' according to the Irish Star.

Melania Trump used the song 'Gimme Shelter' for the opening sequence of her film.

Marc Beckman, one of the film's producers, claimed that Mick Jagger was involved in the process, according to Variety. Beckman added, 'We worked very closely with them on that.'

However, a source close to the band denied this claim to The Guardian. A spokesperson for the band also stated that the licensing of the songs was handled by the rights holders ABKCO and Melania's producers.

The Rolling Stones' legal team stated that they were working with BMI, a performing rights organization, to stop the unauthorized use of their songs, according to the BBC.

This situation underscores the complex relationship between the band and Trump, and suggests that the current dispute could have significant legal and political ramifications.

The tension between both parties could affect the band's ability to perform in the United States.

The possibility of Trump retaliating, such as revoking visas, raises concerns about artistic freedom and the political impact on the music industry.

The current situation represents a clear example of how politics and entertainment can intertwine, with potentially serious consequences for those involved.

The band was not directly involved in the making of the film, which further complicates the situation.
