Is NOTHING sacred to the Trump campaign? Now they've stolen Pavarotti singing "Nessun Dorma"!!! [View all]

I AM IN A TOTAL RAGE! Pavarotti's widow has complained. He just borrows Puccini and one of the world's greatest operatic tenors to announce his plane flying into Cleveland, blaring it out on loudspeakers.

Maybe they'll grab Kiri Te Kanawa's beautiful rendering of O Mio Babbino Caro when Ivanka campaigns with her "dearest daddy."

Maybe Melania, who was a jewelry designer, can blast few bars from a recording of Maria Callas"Vissi d'arte" while they're at it.

This guy has NO SHAME. I am going to beat up a pillow...
