Once a copyrighted song has been released, anyone can record the song without having the obtain the copyright owner's permission. All they have to do is pay a "mechanical license" fee, which is a form compulsory licensing.

The headline on the MediasTouch post is somewhat misleading. The cease and desist order that it suggests Trump ignored was issued in 2020 with respect to the Trump campaign's use of Petty's recording -- an action that does require a non-compulsory license.
