Donald Trump jacked a monologue from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s newest movie, Air — they usually weren’t having it.
On Saturday, Trump’s marketing campaign posted a video on his Truth social community that stole a monologue by Matt edited over scenes of Trump’s political reign, ending with a donation display and the notorious “Make America Great Again” slogan, Deadline reported.
The monologue was Matt Damon as Sonny Vaccaro, a Nike advertising govt, who described what it means to achieve greatness. The biographical drama tells the story of NBA legend Michael Jordan and the creation of the “Air Jordan” sneaker marketing campaign within the ’80s.
Unfortunately for Trump’s marketing campaign, the director and star of the film, Ben Affleck, and his costar Matt’s manufacturing firm, Artists Equity, did not respect using their movie’s message. They instantly issued a press release to sentence the video.
“We had no foreknowledge of, didn’t consent to, and don’t endorse or approve any footage or audio from Air being repurposed by the Trump marketing campaign as a political commercial or for some other use,” the assertion started.
“Specifically by way of any and all rights obtainable to us below US copyright and mental property regulation, we hereby, expressly give discover that within the case of any use of fabric from Air by the Trump marketing campaign the place approval or consent is required, we don’t grant such consent.”
Maybe subsequent time, Mr. Trump ought to get permission earlier than placing himself in the identical league as Michael Jordan.
