Last night at the RNC, The Rolling Stones' song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" started playing as the night drew to a close. People wondered if they were being trolled...
Closing anthem for candidate w whom 38% of Republicans are satisfied? The Stones' "You can't always get what you want"

Inside arena: "You can't always get what you want." Right outside arena: "If I could turn back the hands of time." 2016 got jokes. #rncincle

Who is trolling whom, exactly? "Donald Trump plays 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' after RNC speech:" https://t.co/Sh5ZT13I9x via @EW

I flipped over to the speech and Trump is standing on stage while the Stones echo "You can't always get what you want." Outstanding.

...but one group of people in particular weren't thrilled their song was being used: the band themselves.
The group released a statement on Twitter saying that they do not want to be associated with Donald Trump.
The Rolling Stones do not endorse Donald Trump. You Can't Always Get What You Want was used without the band's permission.

This isn't the first time artists have thrown a hissy fit over Trump using their music during the campaign. Aerosmith also asked Trump to cease using their song "Dream On."
