In a bizarre AI clip this past weekend, Donald Trump dropped feces from a fighter jet over Americans participating in the ‘No Kings’ marches nationwide. Meanwhile, Kenny Loggins’ song Danger Zone was being played in the background.
Now, the singer has responded with some strong words to the president over both the use of his song and Trump’s message.
Last weekend, hundreds of thousands of Americans took to the streets for the ‘No Kings’ March. The exact number of people joining in differs depending on who is asked.
No matter what, one person who didn’t enjoy it was Donald Trump. Both he and Vice President JD Vance posted AI memes to social media depicting Trump in a crown, but what caught most people’s attention was surely the AI video of Trump in a fighter jet, branded “KING TRUMP,” dropping raw sewage on protesters.
While MAGA supporters found it funny, many protesters and Democrats didn’t. In the background of the video, Kenny Loggins’ classic Danger Zone song was heard playing, perhaps most known for being a part of the Top Gun soundtrack.
However, Kenny Loggins appears not to have cleared the President of the United States to use the song at all. In a statement sent to several news outlets, including NPR, on Monday, Loggins slammed Trump for using his hit song in the AI video.

The artist wrote, “This is an unauthorized use of my performance of Danger Zone. Nobody asked me for my permission, which I would have denied, and I request that my recording on this video is removed immediately.” (Danger Zone was written by Top Gun‘s score composer, Giorgio Moroder, and songwriter Tom Whitlock, with Loggins as the performer.)
Kenny Loggins continued: “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. We’re all Americans, and we’re all patriotic. 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,” he concluded.
Donald Trump has not responded to Kenny Loggins’ comment.
