Kahan\u2019s fans made sure that the post went viral, commenting over and over again, and tagging Kahan until the singer-songwriter finally responded \u2014 which is silly, but ultimately not that big of a deal.<\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p>Because while this is a tried-and-true method for the White House social media team to score engagement, elections aren\u2019t won on online engagement (see: \u201cKamala is brat\u201d) and besides, it\u2019s not like these methods are doing anything to dig Trump\u2019s approval numbers out of the toilet. Some White House social media edgelord who probably goes by BigBalls88 gets to brag about owning the libs, Kahan\u2019s fans exercised their free speech rights to demand that their idol disavow a social media post, and Kahan answered the summons. The story tells you more about the state of social media than our laws or politics, and if there is some reckoning of the many crimes committed during the Trump regime, the music copyright violations will be deservedly low on the list.<\/p>\n<p>Other megastars have responded in their own ways: <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2025\/12\/sabrina-carpenter-white-house-ice-video\/\"
