WTF? Trump makes appearance at Lincoln Memorial to the Rolling Stones' "Heart of Stone" [View all]

Christ. We know he's a Stones fan, but this is beyond bizarre...


In case you're not familiar with those Stones lyrics:

There's been so many girls that I've known
I've made so many cry, and still I wonder why
Here comes a little girl, I see her walking down the street
She's all by herself, I try to knock her off her feet
'Cause you'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone, oh no, no, this heart of stone



That was the music playing as Trump walked out with Melania, then paused briefly in front of the statue of Lincoln.

Editing to add that I think the song choice was Trump's very deliberate F U to his critics (including the Stones for not wanting him to use their music). He wants us all to know he doesn't care. And the song gives him a way to brag about his womanizing as well, to remind us that we couldn't stop a golden-showering pussy-grabber from getting where he is today.

And to showcase that creepy gesture at the Lincoln Memorial...

Trump's a disgrace.
