**Sabrina Carpenter, Kids Publisher Angry Over Trump Video Use**
Singer Sabrina Carpenter and the publisher of the children’s series “Franklin the Turtle” are criticizing the Trump campaign after a video using their work was shared on social media. The video, reportedly posted by a pro-Trump account, used scenes and music from Carpenter’s song and animated clips from the Franklin series.
On Tuesday, December 2, Carpenter responded strongly on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.” Her team confirmed they did not give permission for her song to be used. The singer did not name the video directly but clearly rejected any link to the content or political message.
The video in question has since been removed from multiple platforms but had already gained wide attention. It appeared to be criticizing President Biden’s immigration policies and included dramatic music and images meant to push a political narrative.
Kids Can Press, the Canadian publisher of “Franklin the Turtle,” also condemned the use of their material. In a public statement, they said the use of Franklin’s image was “unauthorized and misleading.” The publisher emphasized that their characters are meant to support kindness and learning, not political purposes.
As of now, the Trump campaign has not responded directly to either statement. Legal experts say this could be a case of copyright infringement, depending on what was used and how. Social media companies are also reviewing if the video broke their content policies.
This is not the first time artists have objected to political campaigns using their work without permission. Many musicians, including Adele and Neil Young, have previously demanded campaigns stop using their music.
The situation has sparked a wider conversation online about how creators can protect their art and image. Some viewers praised Carpenter for speaking out. Others discussed the role of entertainment in political campaigns.
The issue continues to spread on social media, as more people share the original messages and express concern over how public art is used in political messaging without approval.
