Can we talk about Trumps very weird choice of campaign songs? WTF?!!

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by one_voice (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

Waiting for Bernie, turned on C-Span. Trump was finishing up, shaking hands.

What songs were playing?
Adele's Rolling in the Deep -
"I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
You're gonna wish you never had met me"

And if that is not bizarre enough - the next song was The Rolling Stones You Can't Always Get what you want?
"you can't always get what you want.... but if you try sometime you get what you need"

Seriously - What the F*ck??!!!!!

What is his message? You're gonna wish you never had met because you're gonna be stuck with me?

- Trump's new logo?

his ego is that big, not because he wants to be President.

The ultimate Megalomaniac.

I really do. I think he's pushing it and pushing it because even he can't believe how awful and stupid his followers are.

I'm inclined to thing that he may indeed be Andy Kaufman.

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need


Are from the song, "You can't always get what you want."

"Sympathy for the Devil" is quite different, and the intent in using either song would be entirely different as well.

It is the consensus of the host that this thread doesn't SoP for GDP. It is better suited for GD. Feel free to re-post there. Thanks.
