Nancy Sinatra, the eldest daughter of the late crooner Frank Sinatra, has condemned Donald Trump’s use of her father’s music. Over the weekend, the president shared a clip of Frank’s 1978 live performance of his hit ballad “My Way” at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas on Truth Social.

A screengrab of Trump’s post was shared on X by multiple people, including one who tagged Nancy, writing: “Omg, @NancySinatra will not be happy about this. Trump goes against everything that Frank stood for. He was a big champion for equality and supported the Civil Rights movement.”. Nancy, 85, responded: “This is a sacrilege.”

Replying to another person who asked if there was any legal action she could take against the president, the “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’” singer said: “Unfortunately no. The only people who can do something are the publishers.”

Nancy is one of three children belonging to Frank and his first wife, Nancy Barbato. The pair, who were married from 1939 to 1951, also had son Frank Jr., who died in 2016, and daughter Tina, 77. Frank passed away in 1998 at the age of 82. According to Nancy, the “Fly Me to the Moon” singer “loathed” Trump. Last December, Nancy replied to a video on X purporting to show ICE officers harassing Latino construction workers. “This is not my father’s America,” she wrote. “He would be devastated. Trump is so wrong in so many ways.”
