When Breitbart’s own Jon Kahn sat down at his piano, he wasn’t just playing notes—he was channeling the defiant spirit of a man who’s been under fire more than any political figure in modern history. The question burning in his mind was simple: What kind of man can survive the constant onslaught aimed at Donald Trump? The answer, naturally, was FIGHTER.
Inspired by Trump’s seemingly endless ability to bounce back from everything thrown his way—two impeachments, relentless media attacks, deplatforming from social media, nonstop legal battles, and even two assassination attempts—Kahn’s latest track is a tribute to Trump’s resilience. As Kahn himself put it, “I’ve always wondered how Trump gets out of bed every day given everything that’s been thrown at him and his family: two impeachments, social media bans, non-stop media attacks, endless legal battles, and now two assassination attempts.” From that curiosity came the birth of FIGHTER, a song that serves as both a tribute and a rallying cry.
To bring his vision to life, Kahn teamed up with Nashville songwriting legend Chris Wallin, a man who’s penned hits for Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, and Toby Keith. Together, the duo crafted FIGHTER—not just a song, but a musical character study of a man who refuses to back down. The track, released by Nashville’s Baste Records, comes with a powerful black-and-white music video that blends themes of strength, love, and human resilience, creating an emotional tribute to Trump and the movement he’s sparked.
And let’s be honest—if there’s anyone who embodies the spirit of a fighter, it’s Trump. The lyrics speak to more than just bruises and battle scars: “I got bruises and broken bones, but they don’t know, I ain’t in this ring alone.” Trump’s fight, as the song suggests, is one that reflects not only his own struggles but those of his supporters who see him as their champion in a world that feels stacked against them.
Both Kahn and Wallin knew there could be backlash—after all, praising Trump in today’s music industry is practically begging for controversy. But Kahn was unfazed: “If he can take a bullet, I can write a song.” And that’s exactly what FIGHTER is—a musical battle cry for anyone who’s still in Trump’s corner, fighting for what they believe in. In a time when American values are constantly under attack, Kahn and Wallin have created something that taps into the raw emotions of a political movement that refuses to be silenced.
Released by Baste Records, a rising star in Nashville’s conservative counterculture music scene, FIGHTER is more than just a song. It’s part of a broader movement of patriotic artists standing up for traditional American values. This label, home to Billboard hits like Afroman’s Hunter Got High and Rachel Holt’s I Was Gonna Be, is carving out a niche for musicians unafraid to wear their love for country on their sleeve.

Ultimately, FIGHTER is about more than Donald Trump—it’s about the never-say-die attitude of anyone who refuses to back down, no matter what the world throws at them. And for Kahn and Wallin, that’s a fight worth singing about.
