Twisted Sister Allow Donald Trump to Use 'We're Not Gonna Take It'
Song "is about rebellion, speaking your mind and fighting the system. If anybodys doing that, [Trump] sure is," Dee Snider says
By Daniel Kreps November 28, 2015
While artists like Neil Young, R.E.M. and Aerosmith have lashed out at Donald Trump for using their music at political rallies without permission, Twisted Sister have allowed the Republican presidential candidate to use their 1984 hit "We're Not Gonna Take It" on the campaign trail. As singer Dee Snider revealed in a new interview, while his own beliefs strongly differ from Trump's, he says the song "is about rebellion, speaking your mind and fighting the system. If anybody's doing that, (Trump) sure is."

"rebellion, speaking your mind and fighting the system" Sounds perfect - he's a rebel, speaks his mind, and is fighting the Wall Street system.
Then again, maybe this for Bernie:
