Trump Wraps Up Appearances Now with "You Can't Always Get What You Want"

He just did it at CPAP, and that music played as he walked off toward Air Force One after his campaign rally in Florida. My wife commented on that rally. "What the Fuck?," she asked.

I told her it was Trump's constant subtext. He can't do the things he claims he will do, so he's setting people up for what he plans to do, which is nothing at all.

It's his current theme song. Prophetic, too.

Who don't want it played and once got in a bitter fight with him back in 1989.

And we all know that Donald Trump's a vindictive asshole who can't let anything go.

And for someone who came of age in the 60s, this man is nothing like the free spirit or love that this music came from. He was probably the guy who never understood what Nixon did wrong.

said he had a secret plan and also had a hand full of deferments.

Thats why I get pissed at my own generation.

Does Trump ever go down to the "Chelsea drugstore" to get prescriptions filled?
Does he ever go to a demonstration to get his fair share of abuse?

A seemingly bizarre choice for a rally song, but consider who chose it!

must think it's funny to play it while the dumb crowds applaud. I always thought it was a totally bizarre song to use, and now that Trump/Bannon are doing their best to smash their ideas and destroy America it fits Bannon's psycho vision.
