The music a politician selects to be played at their rallies can reveal much about them. Donald Trump insists that the Rolling Stones classic SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL be played at his political events.

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
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
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
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah


I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game, mm yeah
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
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, right
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name

Why do you think Trump has this song so prominently connected with his political career?








































 
Trump seems to be a fan of The Rolling Stones; I have heard “Can’t Always Get What You Want” at his events
 
So does that mean when Obama gave shoutouts to JayZ he had 99 problems but a bitch wasn’t one?

I like the Stones as well. Trump probably likes thinking of himself as "a man of wealth and taste". The wealth part is true.
 
I understand that Ilhan Omar listens to Arabic music featuring metal coat hangers, bottle caps, and a dying cat. I wonder WTF that means?

It means that unless you have a point your post isn't relevant.

Please try to keep on the topic instead of the usual lame whataboutism.

Trump has lied about his wealth his whole life too.

Trump is not the devil anyone believing that should be ignored at best or forcefully instiutionalized to receive help for their mental illness.

Why would a sane and rational politician want a song that is a hymn to the devil?

We heard for 8 years Obama was the Antichrist.

And not just on some forums... But on the Con media, radio, TV and print..

If there is a Devil, tRump is his perfect tool. Only his kind of arrogance, greed, self centered narcissism and total lack of compassion could have turned this world upside down like he has in such a short time.

Why is Trump playing foreign rock and roll instead of Rock and Roll created and played by American musicians? The US does not even have a FTA with the UK

Probably for the samw reason a politician would give shout outs to an entertainer who refers to women as bitches in their song. They like the music. It's a good tune. It entertains them.

Even CREEPIER than that is the song he used at ever rally by the Rolling Stones as well. It’s his campaign theme. He used it at rallies, and after his speech at the Republic national convention, and again after his victory speech. The Rolling Stones asked him not to play it, but he just ignored their plea. The song only became creepy when it became associated with Trump's rallies.

'You Don't Always Get What You Want'.

He probably thinks The Rolling Stones are an American band. Isn't Rolling Stone an American magazine? Same thing, right?

So, you're saying that one side's nonsense is justified because the other side also had nonsense?

Yes he inherited over $400 million from his daddy so that makes him "rich" I guess. As far as being a billlionaire that is questionable.

Nobody is doubting that the presumptive Republican nominee is exceptionally well-off. Several tax experts and fellow rich people told Politico that, even in the absence of seeing his tax returns, they were willing to bet that Trump was technically a low-grade billionaire. But it’s possible, many say, that Trump pockets far less profit than his business revenues suggest. The fact that he’s sold several of his assets—including up to $7 million in fund assets and $9 million in individual securities—to cover his campaign debt suggests that he probably doesn’t have enough cash on hand to easily cover the costs of his campaign outright. That’s not something one would expect from a man who claims he is worth “in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS” (the capitalization is Trump’s). In addition, the real estate mogul has added over $50 million in debt to his ledger, Politico reports, putting his total debt somewhere between $315 million and $500 million, and possibly more.

Whataboutism is really pathetic as a response.

As if that compares to worshipping the devil. :doh:roll:
