Donald Trump unveiled a new theme song for his campaign rallys yesterday in Pensacola, Florida in front of a crowd of people presumably as old as the original Spanish buildings in the city. The song is a uncomfortable burst of overt patriotism, while pandering to youth with an EDM-styled beat.
A trio of young girls who call themselves the USA Freedom Kids in American flag dresses sings the song. It is hard to watch them sing and dance in front of the geriatric crowd who might break a hip trying to pull off those moves. "Cowardice, are you serious? Apologies for freedom - I can't handle this! When freedom rings, answer the call," the girls shout."
The song was written by 53-year-old Jeff Popick who also happens to be a big fan of Donald Trump.
"I've been a fan of his for decades. He's got a great heart and a brilliant mind," Popick said to Time. "He has a methodology for success and winning that's second to none. To me, he's always just been an inspiration."
The song was originally written about General Patton, but a few adjustments were made from the WWII leader to fit Donald Trump in Popick's eyes.
To make this bearable, let's play a little game. Drink every time they say freedom or USA. Good luck.
There is also a twinge of racism and intolerance that seeps through the track because -- well you should have been able to figure that out by now.
If you had to compare this to the Ben Carson attempt at trying to relate to urban minorities, this might be a little better but that is setting the bar at below sea level.
