Former US President Donald Trump is facing charges of falsifying business records, and things don't seem to be getting easier for the 76-year-old. Now, British singer-songwriter David Bowie's son Duncan Jones has slammed Trump, claiming that the latter has been using his late father's music repeatedly.
Duncan took to Twitter to slam Donald Trump, and shared a GIF of Bowie staring intently at someone. His tweet jokingly stated that Trump kept using Bowie's music to annoy Duncan personally.
Duncan's tweet came after Donald Trump played a number of songs from his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, to address the masses. One of the songs he played was Bowie's classic hit, Rebel Rebel, which caught Jones' eye and led to him calling the former president out. However, it is also worth noting that Trump has been using Bowie's music for his political rallies and that is also what left Duncan furious.

Duncan Jones slams Donald Trump for playing "Rebel Rebel" at Mar-a-Lago event: More details revealed
Duncan Jones, son of the late musician David Bowie, strongly criticized Donald Trump for playing his father's song Rebel Rebel at an event held at Mar-a-Lago, Florida. Jones took to social media to express his outrage and accused Donald Trump of using his father's music without permission.
The controversy began unraveling after Donald Trump was accused of paying hush money prior to the 2016 presidential election. The former President was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
Trump was briefly arrested on these charges on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, and taken to a New York City court, where he pleaded not guilty. However, upon his return to Mar-a-Lago, he claimed that he had not done anything wrong other than “fearlessly defending our nation.”
As he went to address the mass, several songs were played at his Florida resort, including David Bowie's Rebel Rebel. This caught the attention of several people, many of whom have closely followed the developments around Trump's alleged misconduct.
It is worth noting that former US President Trump was charged with 34 felony counts for falsifying business records to conceal illegal payments made before the 2016 election.
