Last year, Demi released the political track ‘Commander in Chief’, which contains everything she’d like to say to Trump if given the chance.
She said: ‘There have been so many times that I have wanted to write a letter to the president or sit down with him and ask him these questions.
‘And then I thought, I do not really want to do that and I thought one way to write a song and release it for the whole world to hear it, and then he has to answer the questions to everyone and not just me not. ‘

Authorities lost control when rioters entered the Capitol building, which vandalized and entered. Some of the MAGA crowd entered it at Nancy Pelosi’s office.
The riots took place when the US Congress convened to confirm the victory of Joe Biden in the US presidential election in November.
A number of celebrities have urged politicians to call for the 25th Amendment – which includes legislation requiring the vice-president to take control if the commander-in-chief is “unable to perform the powers and duties of his office” – and she term to end two weeks earlier.
The protests come in conjunction with the Republican congressional dispute over the election results ahead of Biden’s planned inauguration on January 20.
