US President Donald Trump is playing with fire.
The Rolling Stones have threatened to sue the commander-in-chief over his usage of their music at his campaign rallies, according to Rolling Stone magazine.
Trump, 74, most recently played You Can't Always Get What You Want at his latest partly attended extravaganza in Tulsa last weekend.
The British rockers have complained about Trump playing their music since his 2016 presidential campaign, but their cease-and-desist orders haven't stopped him. His team even played Heart of Stone at his 2017 inauguration.
After four years of being unable to get what they want, the Stones are increasing the pressure, Deadline reported.
