Donald Trump has a thing for the Village People, regularly blasting such gay-adjacent jams as “Y.M.C.A.” and “Macho Man” at this superspreader events campaign rallies.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper was covering the most recent rally held in Florida on Monday night when correspondent Gary Tuchman noted the song in the background was “Macho Man”.

Without having to utter a single word, Cooper’s face communicated in 40 seconds what so many Americans have been feeling for four years.
How about we take this to the next level?

Trump found time to dance to “Y.M.C.A.” later in the night.

It bears repeating: VOTE, PEOPLE. VOTE.
Don't forget to share:

Will someone please put that dance number in a anti Trump ad immediately.

Please, people, for the sake of this country, the globe and our future, vote this knock-kneed psychotic, treasonous, fascist oaf Don the American Wacko Con out!

Village People have already warned him to not play their songs without permission at his rallies. It’s time to sue the bastard!

Wow!

So now I know who taught Michael Jackson to moon walk.

Reminds me of ancient history of the story of the mad emperor Nero fiddling while Rome burnt. The more things change the more things stay the same. The one big difference of course is that the Romans did not vote Nero into power. If Trump wins the election then Americans can only blame themselves.

notice the unmasked masses at this rally? just gross!

I secretly encourage them all to hug, kiss, shake hands, touch and breath in each other’s faces. Often and a lot.

Trump and his cronies are too stupid even to know that Macho Man is entirely tongue-in-cheek. He’s literally parodying himself.

I don’t know who the other guy is (being an Aussie), but I know who Anderson Cooper is and my god, he is gorgeous and I love him! His husband, partner, boyfriend or love interest is the luckiest man alive. Yum! If anyone on here knows him please say hello for me! Please. It’s a harmless flirt though.

Anderson is single, but he and his ex are raising a son together. And I’ll let him know of your lust.
You should see him in his rowing outfit at Yale. It was the 80’s so the shorts were short and tight. He’s mostly inept at sports but did crew in college.

Hope The Village People sue him like every other artist this a_s has stolen a song from.

The Trump campaign using the music of artists who are against him is nothing new. The most egregious example might be the music of Prince. His estate complained and got a letter from Trump’s lawyers promising to never do so again. But it was just another lie, and they continued using it. Prince’s estate was so pissed that they published the letter in Twitter to shame Trump.
According to the LA Times, there’s no legal way to stop political campaigns from using music so suing is not an option. The only thing artists can do is to shame the candidates who steal their music.

Anderson’s evening colleagues, Donald Lemon and Christopher Cuomo, also made fun of Trump’s clueless dancing. Cuomo was especially funny, wondering if the dance might be a neurological symptom of COVID-19.

This was pretty bad but at least it was mildly funny. What was highly repulsive but not funny was seeing Trump in his briefs. And this was only a few years ago, not the young Trump, who was arguably attractive. Google it. One viral photo shows his tighty-whitey panty lines through sweaty tennis shorts.

Hi Murrica, if you don’t vote this piece of shit out in November the rest of the world doesn’t want to hear diddly squat from you for at least the next 4 years ok?

Vote Blue! Get this idiot out of the White House and then we can laugh when he is arrested, handcuffed, and driven in a prison van to Riker’s Island prison!
