I think we all recall Trump walking out during his campaign rallies to the incredibly ironic Stones song, _You Cant Always Get What You Want_.

Now that he’s President, what equally ironic songs/lyrics will be using for his various Presidential duties?

One I thought of for his entrance music at Press Conferences is _The Boxer_ by Simon and Garfunkel.

_All lies and jests  
Still a man hears what he wants to hear  
And disregards the rest_

Any other suggestions?

I suggested this in a previous Trump music thread. When People Find Out by Steve Earle. (aka “Where You Gonna Run To?”)

“Sympathy for the Devil” by The Rolling Stones should be Trump’s theme song/entrance music. Selected lines/partial lyrics reproduced for fair use critical purposes below:

> [@Mick Jagger](#):
>
> Please allow me to introduce myself  
> I’m a man of wealth and taste  
> I’ve been around for a long, long year  
> Stole many a man’s soul to waste
> 
> …
> 
> Pleased to meet you  
> Hope you guess my name  
> But what’s puzzling you  
> Is the nature of my game
> 
> …
> 
> I stuck around St. Petersburg  
> When I saw it was a time for a change
> 
> …
> 
> As heads is tails  
> Just call me Lucifer  
> 'Cause I’m in need of some restraint  
> (Who who, who who)
> 
> …
> 
> Tell me baby, what’s my name  
> Tell me honey, can ya guess my name  
> Tell me baby, what’s my name  
> I tell you one time, you’re to blame
> 
> Oh, who  
> Woo, woo  
> Woo, who  
> Woo, woo  
> Woo, who, who [x2]  
> Oh, yeah
> 
> …

Also, “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon - Trump’s so vain he’d probably think this song is about him.

Agreed. [Youtube version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBecM3CQVD8)

Also, for women who he’s in the mood to ‘grab’ there’s [this…](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABbc-O_3_Ac&feature=youtu.be&t=5) ☹

His theme music should definitely be “Frolic”, better known as the [Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUGNbkJmM-w).

For treaty negotiations, a Wanda Jackson classic\* would work nicely:

_Well you can say I’m crazy stone deaf and dumb  
But I can cause destruction just like the atom bomb_

\*“Fujiyama Mama”
