Jason Aldean Dedicates ‘Try That in a Small Town’ to Former President Trump After Assassination Attempt


Jason Aldean dedicated his controversial song 'Try That in a Small Town' to former President Trump after Saturday's assassination attempt.

Proudly right-wing country star Jason Aldean was quick to comment on Saturday’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump, dedicating his highly controversial song “Try That in a Small Town” to the former president during a concert in Nashville. The singer’s choice of a song to dedicate to the former president was no accident: “Try That in a Small Town” has been accused of featuring lyrics that were pro-gun and pro-violence, and the accompanying music video was filmed in front of a courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, where a Black man was lynched in the 1920s. The clip, which was described by some detractors as a “modern lynching song” and was pulled from rotation by CMT, also included footage of rallies, looting and riots directed at police officers.
