Wainwright has condemned Trump's use of the song at the town hall in Oaks, Pennsylvania, saying, 'I've been supremely honoured over the years to be connected with this ode to tolerance. Witnessing Trump and his supporters commune with this music last night was the height of blasphemy.' He urges Trump to truly listen to the lyrics of Cohen's masterpiece and hopes it will instill some remorse in him, though he admits, 'I'm not holding my breath.'
Trump's campaign event featured an array of music, including Wainwright's rendition of 'Hallelujah.' He later remarked on Truth Social that during the event, 'We started playing music while we waited, and just kept it going. So different, but it ended up being a GREAT EVENING!' This reflects an unusual approach to handling crowd management amidst health concerns.
