Kenny Loggins has made it clear he disapproves of former President Donald Trump using his iconic 1986 song “Danger Zone” in a provocative AI video shared on Saturday. The video was intended as a response to the widespread No Kings protests occurring across the nation.

On Saturday, Trump took to Truth Social to release a 19-second AI-generated clip that featured the well-known track from the Tom Cruise-led aviation classic.

The controversial video portrayed Trump as a fighter pilot donning a crown, symbolically dumping large amounts of what seemed to be human waste on protestors opposing his policies.

Loggins, now 77, expressed in a statement that he had not authorized the use of his song for Trump’s video and emphasized that he would have refused such a request if asked.

“This is an unauthorized use of my performance of ‘Danger Zone,'” Loggins stated. “No one sought my permission, which I would have categorically denied.”

Loggins said he wanted the video to be ‘removed immediately’ – and voiced his opposition to what he believed to be Trump’s motive to divide Americans to use to his advantage.

Loggins said: ‘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.’

Loggins, whose catalog also includes hits such as I’m Alright and Footloose, said he felt the president needed to spread a message promoting unity amid the tense times.

‘We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic,’ the singer said.

He continued: ‘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.’

Ask for comment on Loggins, the White House emailed Entertainment Weekly a meme with Tom Cruise and Anthony Edwards’ Top Gun characters. 

The meme was captioned with a line from the movie – ‘I feel the need for speed’ – doubling down on the message from Saturday.

Loggins is one of dozens of artists who have told Trump to stop using their music at his rallies. 

Others include Beyoncé, the Foo Fighters, Rihanna, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Panic! at the Disco, Queen and R.E.M.

No Kings demonstrations were attended by millions across the country on October 18, to voice their opposition to Trump and his administration; and in a demonstration of free speech and assembly.

There were an estimated 2,700 rallies across the country, USA Today reported Monday.

Attendees spanned all demographics – from older Americans who had past protested the Vietnam War, to young people who are disillusioned with the current state of society.

People interviewed at the rallies, according to the newspaper, were rankled by the way Trump’s administration has treated immigrants and other people in vulnerable populations.

The president on Sunday denied being royalty but defended his efforts, telling reporters on Air Force One, ‘I’m not a king – I work my a** off to make our country great.’

A reporter asked House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday: ‘You say that Democrats had a hate America rally, but what does it say that the president of the United States over the weekend released a video of him pooping on the American people?’

Johnson said in response that ‘the president uses social media to make a point’ and was ‘using satire to make a point.’
