Mac Miller’s 2011 hit “Donald Trump,” off of his Best Day Ever mixtape, has reentered the Top 30 on iTunes following Trump’s win of the presidential election. However, Mac Miller probably isn’t happy about this seemingly serendipitous outcome. His song “Donald Trump” praises the President-elect, with lyrics such as “Take over the world when I’m on my Donald Trump shit/Look at all this money, ain’t that some shit.” Many seem to be playing this song as an anthem to celebrate Trump’s win, despite Mac Miller’s vocal cries against the billionaire.
Just don’t forget about the ridiculously large amount of humans who are down to have Donald Trump be present. There is work to do

Back in 2013, Mac Miller was already expressing regret over using Donald Trump’s name, saying to Complex, “I could have said ‘Take over the world when I’m on my Bill Gates shit.’” In response to that, Donald Trump threatened to sue him.
Little @MacMiller, you illegally used my name for your song “Donald Trump” which now has over 75 million hits.

Little @MacMiller, I’m now going to teach you a big boy lesson about lawsuits and finance. You ungrateful dog!
