Trump supporters may not be hearing “Y.M.C.A.” at his rallies anytime soon. Following a Friday Facebook post from vocalist Victor Willis, the Village People have just joined the ever-growing list of artists requesting the president doesn’t play their music at his rallies, which already included Rihanna, Aerosmith and Prince’s estate.
