Nancy Sinatra slams Trump for sharing 'My Way' clip
Nancy Sinatra calls Donald Trump's use of her father Frank Sinatra's 'My Way' clip 'sacrilege,' saying only publishers could take action.
Nancy Sinatra has spoken out against Donald Trump’s use of her father Frank Sinatra’s music, condemning the president for sharing a clip of the late crooner performing his hit “My Way.” The clip, tied to Frank Sinatra’s Caesar’s Palace Las Vegas performance in the 1970s, appeared on Truth Social over the weekend and circulated on X, where a screengrab tagged Nancy and others discussed the legality of the move.
Nancy, now 85, responded with a firm rebuke, calling the act “a sacrilege.” When asked about possible legal action, she clarified that she could not pursue anything herself; “the only people who can do something are the publishers.”
The exchange adds another layer to a long-running conversation about how Sinatra’s legacy is used in modern politics and media. Nancy has previously weighed in on public portrayals of her father and his values, noting that he loathed Trump and would be devastated by actions she views as inconsistent with his legacy.
The back-and-forth underscores ongoing tensions around music rights, political messaging, and the way famous performances are repurposed in the digital age, with publishers likely positioned to determine whether any formal action can be pursued. The broader context includes past remarks from Nancy criticizing policies or actions she believes contradict her father’s ideals, including a 2022 online comment about “not my father’s America.”
