Is a Grammy award in former President Donald Trump’s future?
The former president collaborated on a song with the J6 Prison Choir – members of the MAGA mob who remain imprisoned for their role in the January 6 Capitol attack.
The song, entitled ‘Justice for All,’ uses Trump’s spoken word recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance over the Star-Spangled banner, with the prisoners chanting ‘USA’ at the end.
It was released on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and other platforms on Friday.
With the song’s release, Trump has some new material to play with when he delivers the keynote address at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday evening.

On Friday, Trump also pitched the creation of up to 10 new American cities – dubbed ‘Freedom Cities’ – which would have flying cars and lots of babies, as the ex-president pledged to give potential parents ‘baby bonuses’ to up the American birth rate.
In those cities there would be ‘towering monuments to our true American heroes,’ Trump said, reminiscent of the National Garden of American Heroes, Trump wanted to build, signing an executive order for its creation days before he left office.
‘These freedom cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American imagination and will give hundreds of thousands of young people and other people, all hardworking families, a new shot at home ownership and in fact the American dream,’ he said.
During his speech, Trump will also likely continue to portray his supporters involved in the January 6 Capitol attack as political prisoners.
The violent riot left several people dead and more than 100 law enforcement officers injured.
Trump has pledged to give the insurrectionists full pardons and an apology from the government should he win reelection in 2024.
In December, Trump filmed a message for a group that provides legal support to January 6 defendants.
Not everyone was a fan of Trump’s new tune. Robert Maguire, the research director at the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said he was ‘repulsed’ that the song existed
‘People have been treated unconstitutionally, in my opinion, and very, very unfairly, and we’re going to get to the bottom of it,’ Trump pledged. ‘And you know what I’ve said, I take it very seriously, I’ve never seen anything like it at all levels.’
He said during his 2024 run he planned to look into what he called a ‘very unfair situation.’
Not everyone was a fan of Trump’s new tune.
‘I have never been more repulsed by the mere existence of a song than one sung by a president who tried to do a coup and a literal “choir” of insurrectionists who tried to help him,’ tweeted Robert Maguire, the research director at the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
‘To be clear, I say this as someone who has heard the Utah House of Representatives rap,’ Maguire added, sharing the video of Utah lawmakers in their rendition of ‘Fresh Prints of BIlls Here.’
