Or try to.

"Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood was a minor record, barely scraping the bottom of the British charts.

Then, the BBC banned it.

Shot to number one and stayed there for weeks, and also ensuring the next several FGTH singles would be automatic hits as well. Sold millions of t-shirts with "Frankie Say" on them.

This won't end well for Trump. No, not at all.....
