Over 30 million uninsured Americans were insured after Biden's eight years. That's just this decade, much less the other so-called 37 years.

Biden has conned millions into thinking after 47 years of doing nothing he's suddenly going to get things done for the American people.
But there are more Trump vote in person voters than Biden mail-in voters.
Trump-Pence 2020 LANDSLIDE :D

I think this is what they call “alternative logic” or “displaced intelligence”.

Patriotism is the ultimate and original form of virtue signalling. A desperate attempt to appear to have more 'passion' than the next man. In practice, it usually means you hate anyone who doesn't look, speak or think like you. It's more hate than love. That's why right-wingers proclaim to love America, but actually hate most of the people that live there.
Trump has conned millions into thinking that 'America First' trumps 'Trump First'. He wants your vote and nothing else.

Is your idea of patriotism using only music from the US? I have no time for patriotism but I’d have thought patriotism would be a bit more substantial than this.
A bit of a superficial and petty point, isn’t it?

Have been for a long time.

The UK has produced the majority of the best bands of all time.
It’s understandable that you’d use their music but it is an insult to that great band to be associated with Trump. They are clever lads.

Neil Young, John Fogerty, and Phil Collins have the right to their music especially if they are not supporters of Trump. On the contrary, it was surprising to hear that black rappers like Lil Wayne, Ice Cube, 50 Cent, Kanye are all supporting Trump.

It's unfortunate that music, movies, and sports are now directly involved taking sides in politics.

I think it’s cool, boogie on down. Lol

“MIGHT realize”. Apologies....

I have to admit there’s something amusing about an old man dancing (if you can call it that) to a 70s disco song about gay men hooking up at the Y while his overwhelmingly homophobic supporters clap along.
And I agree, if Trump actually listened to Free world and Fortunate Son, he MIGHT (he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer) that both are scathing indictments of everything he is or has ever been.
now if he wanted to use You’re so vain, Carley Simon might give her permission....

The man in the orange make-up is a thief?
I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

Donald Trump, ranting to a group of so-called evangelicals and religious conservatives - all who are anti-LBGT...
All the while disco-dancing to the tune YMCA by the all gay group Village People...
Hilarious...

It’s a great song, gets you jumping, way better than Playing Neil Young, as to why Trump choose that clown is beyond me, but he actually did Trump a favor.

Yeah I can see how any factual account of what Trump is doing and what people actually think of him would read like a Biden attack ad to Trump supporters.
Toasted Heretic
That one is especially mind boggling. One can only deduce that the man has never listened to the lyrics.

Which Japanese artists does Trump use in his campaigns? Does he chant AKB48 songs? Babymetal?
rainyday
There isn't. But I assume the implication was that many Trump supporters think there is.

Please Phil, go back to taking directions from Peter. A few halfway decent songs does not make you an artist, just a pop singer.

A long winded article about a small group of people compared to the very large percent of Americans who support the President and will re-elect him again. But, with the exposure of the media being so corrupt in the control of news, what can be expected.
Kobe White Bar Owner
Rightly so! Who would want to be connected to this narcissistic man child. He was once asked how do you handle the typhoon around you to which he replied - I am the typhoon. Blow away soon!

Good on them to not back down and to let DT know that he was a fortunate son of but unfortunately you can't always get what you want. I say hallelujah for that.

Call the nursing home. We found the 3 escapees.

Poor form by these artists who openly despise half the fans who buy their music. Ungrateful.
commanteer
Why? Are you suggesting there is something wrong with being openly gay?
Pukey2
And matters aren't being helped by his gold-digging wife.
Trump should just continue using the Village People's songs. And don't tell him about the Village People until he's lost the election.

I saw John Fogerty's concert during The Eye of the Zombie Tour back in the early 80s. Very cool.
Mickelicious
Phil Collins looks like he's waiting for his number to be called.
"I used to be a drummer, you know. Still have all my teeth."
Bless 'em all, and flush that putrid Drumpf!
