//Trump campaign's use of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is "blasphemy," singer Rufus Wainwright says//

On Monday, Donald Trump transformed a municipal center question and answer into a music-listening meeting, with the previous president influencing in front of an audience for over 30 minutes to a portion of his main tunes — including Leonard Cohen's "Glory be," as covered by the vocalist Rufus Wainwright in the film "Shrek."

"The melody 'Glory be' by Leonard Cohen has turned into a song of praise committed to harmony, love and acknowledgment of reality," Wainwright composed on Tuesday.
He added that he was "humiliated" that the tune was capitalized on at the Trump occasion, adding that "the positive qualities in me trusts that maybe in occupying and truly paying attention to the verses of Cohen's magnum opus, Donald Trump could very well experience a smidgen of regret over what he's caused."Wainwright added that he is supporting VP Kamala Harris in the official political race.

Trump played a few different accounts at the city center occasion in Oaks, Pennsylvania, around 20 miles outside Philadelphia, after two participants required clinical consideration. Those melodies included "It's A's Man's Man's Reality" by James Brown, "An American Set of three" by Elvis Presley and "Nothing Looks at 2 U," by the late Sinead O'Connor.
