In the video on his private platform ‘Truth Social,’ in which Trump celebrated the bombing of Caracas, he accompanied the images of the attack with the song ‘Fortunate Son’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) – choosing, of all things, a 1969 anti-war anthem as the soundtrack for his war.
Perhaps he simply didn't understand the song, just as many people still misunderstand Bruce Springsteen's ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ as a patriotic anthem? That's likely, but neither Trump nor his supporters care.
It will be interesting to see which song the US president will use to illustrate his grab for Greenland next. He might well choose ‘Let it Go’ from “Frozen” – but I'm betting on ‘Cold as Ice’ by Foreigner.
