On Saturday, hours after a gunman burst into Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and killed 11 in the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history, President Donald Trump was scheduled to appear at a rally in Indiana to address a group of student farmers. While they waited for Trump to take the stage, the crowd danced to a playlist of upbeat music, including "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper, and "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. Now Williams, a popular recording artist, is threatening to take legal action for Trump's unauthorized use of his song. On Monday, his attorney Howard King issued a cease-and-desist letter to Trump, saying the use of "Happy" without permission constituted copyright infringement and a trademark violation.
