Politicians being told not to use a song happens surprisingly often actually, I know Donald Trump was told not to use one, I believe it was “rocking in the free world”. They’ve also told Nigel Farage off, apparently.

Trump has used so much music without permission that it has a Wikipedia entry: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicians_who_oppose_Donald_Trump's_use_of_their_music

Doesn’t it depend if the musicians are the rights holder or not? And if the venue or event organizers have a license to use the music. You can’t play music during a public event without the proper license for that music.
Yes-ish sort of but not really. It’s not quite that simple.
Licensing and ownership/distribution rights are incredibly contentious for a reason.
