Trump playing a tune that has been a bit of a gay anthem while doing a dance that has been described as, well, how do I say this…pleasuring two male genitalia at the same time is an interesting choice. I think he’s just punking all of us.
Naw, Trump’s just gotta be a macho, macho man.
In his own confused brain, at least.
A macho, macho man that’s into two other macho men at the same time. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Unless you are MAGA.
Macho Americans are Gay, Alright?
You cracked the code!
A religious song in German, with lyrics
“Now and at the hour of our death,
The hour of our death
The hour of our death,
The hour of our death”
Wait, it’s he suggesting the supporters who collapsed are dying?
It’s two giraffes, per Dave Bautista on Jimmy Kimmel last night. Be sure to watch the whole bit, it’s the macho version of a Randy Rainbow takedown.
I know, exactly what I thought. What a stupid song to play (twice, in two different versions) in response to his supporters fainting. I’m surprised he didn’t follow up with ‘Danny Boy’ or maybe ‘Seasons in the Sun’ followed up with ‘Taps’.
Hopefully the song becomes a metaphor for the death of his reelection hopes 
Is Ave Maria usually associated with Catholic rites or do all Christian denominations revere it? I really can’t fathom why he would play it (twice! as mentioned by @solost) at a political function. He doesn’t do anything without ulterior motive so I wonder who he thought was going to respond positively to it. I’ve only heard it live at an overly long wedding and a funeral. Not being of the Christian faith, I’m pretty ignorant of these things. No offense intended.
some times the words are different.
orthodox has:
Theotokos Virgin, rejoice, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with You. Blessed are You among women, and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, for You have borne the Savior of our souls.
catholic has:
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen
the text is taken from luke, greetings from gabriel and elizabeth. the catholic church added a line.
“I’m going to make these people stand here and listen to one of my favorite songs” is motive enough when it comes to Trump. So is “I don’t want to answer any more questions; I’m just going to listen to music I like.”
No real need to dig deep here.
I don’t know why everyone is complaining about Trump quietly swaying to music for 39 minutes. It’s the smartest he’s ever sounded.
And think about all the people who paid to go hear Trump’s greatest political hits, to instead be treated to silence.
One time some years ago I went to a Star Trek convention (well, a commercial rake in your money event) where Leonard Nimoy was billed to speak. Now I know he was ancient and had been doing these for decades, so the whole Spock thing had to be wearing thin, but my sister and I had never had the opportunity to see him. So we were excited.
Until he got up on stage to share his latest project, a video of him acting old radio programs. Yes, he was there, but the segment was video of these radio scripts, complete with the product placement. And they weren’t parodies - I’ve participated in that kind of thing.
It wasn’t just an encerpt. We sat through over a half hour, having already hung around the place through some other shenanigans, before we have up and left. That left me very irritated at the time and money spent. Especially since I’ve been to real fan conventions.
Anyway, I have to think a lot of people are feeling that way right now.
Like going to a Klan concert and they don’t play their greatest hates.
My WAG would be that the number of Trump fans who feel that way is several orders of magnitude higher than the number who will tell themselves or others that.
Cult.
Trump at Truth Social
I know everything coming from him is bullshit but it is amazing how many different ways he can come up with to “disqualify” her. Especially since he is the record holder for doing things that should legitimately disqualify him.
“We can do it the nice way, or the hard way!” What the hell does that mean?
I’m sure Trump means that when he’s president, he’ll order the entire production crew of 60 minutes to be sentenced to death.
He can even record the executions and play “Ave Maria” over the edit.
(When I hear Ave Maria the first thing I think of isn’t the religious associations. It’s the ending scene from The Godfather. And the movie is old enough I think Trump might get the reference.)
Funny, I always think of the scene in Fantasia when the church bells ring, Ave Maria plays and the Devil goes back to sleep on Bald Mountain.
I think of the same thing, and I was half expecting Trump to recoil and flee as the music played.
When this came up the other day on Sirius while I was driving I had the same thought. Could it be more apropos his nibs? I mean, just to put up one stanza,
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don’t they help themselves, Lord?
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin’ like a rummage sale, yeah
but all three are on the money.
