It wasn't a "former bandmate" that objected to trump using the song in 2022, it is a CURRENT band member who was the founding member of the band and co-writer of the song.

The song was allowed for Trump by Jonathan Cain who is a co-writer of the song and also a current band member. It was CURRENT guitarist Neal Schon, (also co-writer of the song), that objected to its use by Trump.

Everyone may recall that Jonathan Cain's wife probably goaded this, because her name is Paula Cain-White, who is Trump's "spiritual advisor"
