They totally got a case, since the song writers were/are Jagger/Richards. Abkco does own the right to the music, but the Glimmer Twins still make a ton of money off the song every time it plays on the radio, or when an album is sold, since they wrote the song. But Abkco owns the main controlling interest of the music, so if another artist wants to record the song, they got to get permission from Abkco first, and not Jagger/Richards. In a case like this, it could be a bit complicated I guess, since Abkco would have a say, too. But the Glimmers wrote the song, so they still have some control over the song, too. From what I understand, if Abkco wanted to sue Trump over his using the song without permission, they could do so without even consulting Jagger/Richards, but any damages they won, they would have to share with the Glimmers, since Abkco controls the music but not the lyrics. It would be much more easier for say the members of Bad Company or Queen to sue then the Stones, but the Glimmers would still have a say in this matter, and you can bet that Abkco would be more than happy to go along with them.
