Trump Campaign Played 'Live And Let Die' Before His Recent Ohio Event And It's Painfully Appropriate

Trump Campaign Played 'Live And Let Die' Before His Recent Ohio Event And It's Painfully Appropriate

After the Trump campaign used "Live and Let Die," the only more appropriate song may have been Alanis Morisette's "Ironic."

President Donald Trump has done very little to show he cares about the well-being of his constituents—continuing to hold campaign rallies around the nation in the middle of a global pandemic which is killing an average of 1,000 Americans a day. He was served a heavy dose of irony by whoever designed the playlist for his rally at a Whirlpool plant in Clyde, Ohio.


Blasting through the speakers was the Guns N' Roses cover of the song "Live And Let Die" (originally penned for Paul McCartney And Wings for the James Bond film of the same name) which felt hauntingly appropriate to several onlookers.





The United States has seen over 160,000 deaths from the ongoing pandemic. The death toll is projected to get as high as 300,000 by December unless circumstances change drastically.

The White House has been lax at best in its attempts to control and curb the pandemic, and Trump himself said the death toll "is what it is" in the now-infamous Axios interview in late July.

Trump stated:

"They are dying, that's true, and you ha ... it is what it is. But that doesn't mean we aren't doing everything we can. It's under control as much as you can control it."





Adding to the drama, the Federal government has largely bungled its financial response to the pandemic, with Pandemic Unemployment Assistance allowed to expire and negotiations between parties collapsing while Trump attempted to bypass Congress with an executive order to garner sole credit.





"You used to say live and let live / You know you did...you know you did... you know you did / But if this ever changin' world / In which we live in / Makes you give in and cry / Say live and let die / Live and let die."

Those haunting lyrics seem to be reflecting the state of our society back at us.

Let's hope at some point the USA gets it together.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
