In another news, Donald Trump’s “Justice for All” overtakes Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” to reach the top of US iTunes.
It is listed in the “devotional & spiritual” section on Apple Music, while on YouTube, Trump is mentioned as the composer of the track.

Trump specifically recorded the Pledge of Allegiance for this single at Mar-a-Lago a few weeks ago, Forbes reported, while the jailed choir recorded their part over a jailhouse phone a month ago.
The song begins with the choir singing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” with Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and ends with the prisoners chanting “U-S-A! “.
According to Forbes, which first reported the song being produced, the choir consists of a group of about 20 men that are being held at the Washington, DC jail.
