Here’s something most folks don’t hear every day, former United States president Donald Trump is now considered a chart-topping musician after his single “Justice for All” with the alleged Jan. 6 male prisoners took the number #1 spot on iTunes top songs.
For context, the track — which includes a compilation of Trump quoting the Pledge of Allegiance and the alleged rioters singing the “Star-Spangled Banner” — was originally released to the general public on March 3, according to Forbes. By March 13, Luminate, a music tracking service, reported that the song went on to sell a combination of 27,300 digital copies. Despite the sales, the tracking service also reveals that at the time, “Justice for All” only received 600,000 streams – which is considered a failure because it didn’t land on Apple Music or Spotify streaming charts.
As news of Trump’s track taking the number #1 spot on iTunes began circulating online, United States representative Marjorie Taylor Greene gave her two cents regarding the matter on her official Twitter page. Greene disclosed how much the song meant to her as she misquoted Trump’s chart status.
The 48-year-old claimed that the reason why she considered this single a monumental one was not only because she found herself singing along with the alleged Jan. 6 male prisoners — nicknamed J6 — but also brought up their alleged living conditions in the Washington D.C. jail and went as far as to compare it to how terrorists were treated in Guantanamo Bay.
Greene wrote, “President Trump and the J6 Prison Choir’s new song, “Justice for All,” is #1 everywhere. This song touches me differently than most as I actually sang the National Anthem with pretrial J6 detainees from inside the jail.”
“The human rights abuses these men are suffering are unparalleled, worse than 9/11 terrorists are treated in Guantanamo Bay. Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and I will be leading a delegation back to the DC jail, open to ALL Members of Congress, to witness firsthand the suffering of these patriotic Americans.” she added.
Although Trump has yet to respond to Greene’s remarks, the reason why the song even came about in the first place was because the entrepreneur wanted to extend his support to the prisoners. According to CNN, the 76-year-old recorded his part of the song in his home in Mar-a-Lago. At the same time, it is still being determined where the other audio featuring the Jan. 6 prisoners was recorded.
At this time, no details regarding the Jan. 6 prisoners’ living conditions have been revealed to the public despite Greene’s previous statements.
