Nancy Sinatra is making it clear that she does not stand for Donald Trump — and neither would her famous father.
Over the weekend, the president took to Truth Social and, in what some called quite an ominous post, shared a video of Frank Sinatra singing his iconic 1968 song “My Way.”
The lyrics to the song include: “And now, the end is near / And so I face the final curtain,” and: “Regrets, I’ve had a few / But then again, too few to mention / I did what I had to do / And saw it through without exemption.”
Nancy, 85, was quick to denounce the post, writing on Twitter (now X): “This is a sacrilege.”
In a subsequent post, replying to a fan wondering what can be done to pull Trump’s post, Nancy said: “Unfortunately no. The only people who can do something are the publishers.”
Her feed was then littered with more reposts confirming both her and her former father’s dislike of the former reality star, among them: “@NancySinatra will confirm again that her father loathed Donald Trump,” as well as: “This is just sickening. Frank Sinatra would never have allowed that monster in the White House to use his music or put his lyrics in his mouth. Sinatra was a man of honor, a man who never had to lie about who he truly was because he WAS the greatest. Trump is a loser.”
Sinatra passed away aged 82 in 1998; Trump at the time had yet to enter politics, save for a failed presidential campaign in 2000, but he was at the time of Sinatra’s passing already known as a real estate developer with a murky reputation, who filed for bankruptcy for several of his real estate projects four times between 1991 and 1992.
Nancy, whose father welcomed her with Nancy Barbato, his wife from 1939 to 1951, also reposted multiple times — “Reposting until we are heard” — a previous post from Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari, which reads: “Trump is clearly experiencing severe cognitive decline, and leaders from every political affiliation have recognized this. He’s become a national security threat to the United States,” and calls for the 25th Amendment.
Nancy is far from the only musician to have called out Trump over his or his administration’s use of their music, Celine Dion, ABBA, Foo Fighters, and the estates of Isaac Hayes and Sinéad O’Connor among them.

Another example: in August 2024, Céline’s “My Heart Will Go On,” was used at one of Trump’s rallies, in Bozeman, Montana, after which the singer’s reps wrote on her Instagram on her behalf: “In no way is this use authorized, and Céline Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. … And really, THAT song?”
