11. I really don't understand the use of that song.

What message are they trying to convey? If you assume most people only listen to/hear the words they know, I guess that would be:

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

What message is Trump's campaign trying to send? You didn't want me, but I'm what you need anyway? Is that message aimed at other Republicans? Democrats? And how would Trump's ego accept the idea that he wasn't what they wanted? I am baffled by that song choice.
