Hell, I'd even go so far as to say there's a pretty large market for stuff criticizing him. Think Fire and Fury.
Regardless, Trump has zero to do with the Manics/US - nothing that's going on here is new. They've rarely had a stable record deal in the US post TIMTTMY. It's strange given the size of the market and their popularity abroad, but it is what it is. I also don't think they've ever cared that much, so they haven't tried to change the dynamic.

Course I'll be amazed if he's heard of Manics at all, but don't think it's beyond him to try to.get summat banned purely cos he disagrees with it, which is why I brought up the internet and scientists stuff. That said, he's been giving satirists all over the world a field day and nobody's up against a wall yet..
