Trump arriving at recent rally in Michigan to the tune of “Fortunate Son” https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1304195354372562947?s=20
Some folks are born,
Made to wave the flag,
Oh, they're red, whit and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",
They point the cannon right at you.
It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no senator's son.
It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.
Some folks are born
Silver spoon in hand,
Lord don't they help themselves.
But when the tax man comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale.
It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no millionaire's son.
It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.
Hi
Some folks inherit
Star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war.
And when you ask them,
"How much should we give?"
They only answer "More! More! More!"
It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no military son.
It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.
It ain't me,
It ain't me.
I ain't no Fortunate Son.

Good friend of mine got married to "hallelujah" (Rufus Weinwright version no less). She of course never read the lyrics

Remember that the marks have a military-grade lack of self-awareness. (Or any other awareness for that matter)
EinElchsaft
The irony is too much
Lilliesburn
Wait... "rummage sale"... I thought the line was "roman stadium" .

Great post @OP. Thank you for your contribution.
LewdSomnambulist
They know. It's part of the joke at this point
JustAnotherVictimOfAmbientMorality
Well, he's no military son, that's for sure.
jayman0123
And the irony was lost on all of them
Crixy
What's strange in the Militaristic Republic of America is that when invading other countries they claim patriotism, support our troops shit.
tanebot
The kind of people who would actually listen to lyrics aren't ever gonna vote for him anyway.
Gremlynn4023
I think this one was intentional. It fits his pretending to be a self made man fighting for the little man.

BluntForceLlama
Why doesn’t he just go all-in and start using the Imperial March?
JhericFury
Your mistake is thinking they don't think they're the underclass, fucked by the elites.
nikkilaurakevin365
Fuck Trump and every single person that voted for him. Piece of human waste. Racist, pedophile, homophobic scum bag. Sorry thank you for
nikkilaurakevin365
Letting me vent.

Absolutely Hilarious!
DrSchlepenstein
Guessing he didn't get permission to play this song either and will be receiving a cease and desist letter soon.
joca852
A lot of Trump supporters view all politicians as warmongers who wrap themselves in flags. To them this song represents traditional 1/2
joca852
politicians. To them Trump is anti establishment and he is the one who won’t start a war and actually cares about America 2/2
joca852
I think they just hate the political process so much that they will blindly follow someone anti establishment. 3/2

you think bone spurs is fortunate? /s

irony is too long of word for Trump and his followers to understand the meaning.
OverthoughtUnderedited
Okay, so Trump is nowhere near intelligent enough to get this, but there are definitely people on Trump's staff who know what's up.
demosteness
That’s right. He’s like the top of the iceberg.
Bangbox
He's shitcanned anyone who would point anything out to him. He has to be made to feel like he's a sooper dooper stayble jeaneyuss.

He did play it’s the end of the world as we know it by REM at a rally in 2016. So are we really surprised.
jjsjosCreator
im sure they did , it's propaganda /a/kpINzXQ
LightningMcQueef
I think maybe someone DID listen to the lyrics.
DrkBluePenguin
Black ops democrats
zafner
Yeah, it's too obvious. Somebody knew exactly what this song was about and is intentionally ragging on him.
homoerection
I dunno man, they’re a pretty stupid bunch. But I hope someone was trolling him
thescientists
He's being trolled by his own hypeman?
RamsesMCMXCI
Nah, these people are deluded not smart.
YouAreMyLuckyStar
"How much should we give?" They only answer "More! More! More!" is a clear reference to the Dems and their socialist taxes, obviously.
GrandProtectorDark
Completely wrong
moonsaves
Unfortunately you do need the /s now. This is tame compared to some things I've seen that are 100% serious.
JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
Dude, there are people who think Bill Gates is trying to reverse engineer the human genome to modify it based on plans originally set out 1/
JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
by a group of satanic extraterrestrials. This is not a joke. Sadly, that /s is more necessary than ever. 2/2
YouAreMyLuckyStar
I do tend to ignore the lizard people, but I will def use /s from now on. Good to know some people understands without prompting though
SillyGoat
It's safest to tag sarcasm with /s. I got it, but evidently it was not sufficiently clear for some.
YouAreMyLuckyStar
I honestly don't know if I should laugh or cry, I thought it was so obvious I didn't need a /s. Oh well, you live, you learn.
GrandProtectorDark
With current day right wingers, I see enough people who would wrote this genuinely
ZVMaker
The "obviously" at the end is the giveaway. Before that I *really* wasn't sure. Just the times we live in I guess
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Sorry man. There is no floor to them. Even if you think you're so low no one can think it's anything but a joke, they've gone lower.

Triple T up in this BIIIIIIITCH!
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
This isn't real, is it? Why can't this be real? Can we hire someone to do this?
monkofunko
I feel if Terry Tate was always lurking in the background Trump might be motivated to do a better job.
toolarchy5
if i could just keep upvoting, forever.
platinumskink
Oh, that is delightful.
Inarticulated
I'll upvote this no matter how many times it gets posted

Whats the story behind this, and can I stream it in 4k?

And when is the sequel?

As if John would give permission.
waeraj
Too bad he doesn't own the rights to CCR
Makerofroads
Haven't you seen? Trump plays whatever the fuck he wants, and when the band tries to sue, nothing happens.
GoddamnitClown
Generally, venues have a library of stuff they can play irrespective of the artist's specific wishes. Those lawsuits are long shots, afaik.
Makerofroads
I mean, public domain stuff I would imagine, yeah. But they don't own the rights to back in black, surely they have no right to play it.
realBigDill
I like the idea that you're on a first name basis with John Fogerty
GodsFoot
Me and ol' Johnny boy, we go way back
NotInLimboAnymore
The idea was for people to think, John who? And then actually look for info on CCR and John Fogerty.
hogeyegrex
Then they’d find out that Zaentz screwed him out of all his publishing rights, so it wouldn’t matter what he thinks anyway.
GhostsofAcid
I imagine, the ... MAGAs (is that trump supporters?) do what they like and care little for consequences.
Longinus212
I personally call them trumpets.
mkelter
I call them Trumptards
alliwannadoisgetsumpurpdrank
I'm a fan of calling them MAGAts, have the same affinity for shit
