WTF? Trump makes appearance at Lincoln Memorial to the Rolling Stones' "Heart of Stone"

[highplainsdem]

Christ. We know he's a Stones fan, but this is beyond bizarre...


In case you're not familiar with those Stones lyrics:

There's been so many girls that I've known
I've made so many cry, and still I wonder why
Here comes a little girl, I see her walking down the street
She's all by herself, I try to knock her off her feet
'Cause you'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone, oh no, no, this heart of stone


That was the music playing as Trump walked out with Melania, then paused briefly in front of the statue of Lincoln.

Editing to add that I think the song choice was Trump's very deliberate F U to his critics (including the Stones for not wanting him to use their music). He wants us all to know he doesn't care. And the song gives him a way to brag about his womanizing as well, to remind us that we couldn't stop a golden-showering pussy-grabber from getting where he is today.

And to showcase that creepy gesture at the Lincoln Memorial...

Trump's a disgrace.

4. Or Shattered....

Friends are so alarming
My lover's never charming
Life's just a cocktail party on the street
Big Apple
People dressed in plastic bags
Directing traffic
Some kind of fashion
Shattered

Uh-huh, this town's full of money grabbers
Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don't mind the maggots, huh
Sha oobie, my brain's been battered
My friends they come around they
Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter
Pile it up, pile it up, pile high on the platter

5. Did not know the Stones song

Never heard of the country singers, but the songs are more familiar. Oddly, no red hats.

6. The band opening up for this inaugural concert is a country band singing about "Texas".

Is this the inauguration of George Dubya, or a New York billionaire from Manhattan???
Trump you like country music?? Really ??

By playing their music against their wishes, he's being the vindictive asshole that only he can be (isn't that right, Mitt Romney)?
