Now and again North Korea releases footage from a Kim Jong-un address to the people, a real song and dance being made as the crowd clamours to shower the dictator with love and adoration.
Then you see the official Donald Trump Jam, performed on Wednesday at a rally for the Supreme Leader in Florida, and you begin to lose faith in the Western world. You want some lyrics? You got them:
Cowardice
Are you serious?
Apologies for freedom, I can’t handle this.
When freedom rings, answer the call!
On your feet, stand up tall!
Freedom’s on our shoulders, USA!
Enemies of freedom face the music, c’mon boys, take them down
President Donald Trump knows how to make America great
Deal from strength or get crushed every time
How about that clapping in the background? The crowd is whiter than a Mumford and Sons concert, although the majority seem to have reached the age where they have now become senile.
Surely that’s the only way to explain what I just watched?
Be warned it is very catchy.
