I think the “message” in the song is appropriate for Trump. He’s making life better for everyone, even the people who hate him.

Still, I don’t like that song at all, and wouldn’t have a problem if he changed it out for this campaign.

I like the lyrics of the song Hannity used to have as the theme for his show. I know it’s about a woman escaping abuse, but the chorus is appropriate for Trump:

“Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning.
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It’s Independence Day.”

Thanks for responding to my post.

That “Independence Day” song does pack a punch, I will admit. The problem is that while I certainly don’t condone spousal abuse, neither do I go in for that leftist “believe all women” deal.

I’m a lifelong bachelor at 62. I’ve dated my share of women and heard their stories about what creeps their exes were.

I nodded my head and tried to be as sympathetic as I could manage, without looking like a wimp. Of course, none of these acquaintanceships turned into anything worthwhile.

In my observations, most marriages end because of boredom, usually hers. I don’t completely discount stories of abuse, but I also recognize that people of both sexes are apt to give self-serving accounts of their conduct.

So, I guess this is a long explanation why “Independence Day” may not work as a Trump song.

Personally, I’d stick with John Philip Sousa.

“Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong”

Aside from being clearly an abuse song let the right be wrong has a negative message for our side and also what does right be wrong do/mean anything other than rhyme? Just sayin’.

Beautiful. Then the President can remind his audience that Juneteenth is the Independence Day Republicans gave Blacks Emancipated from Democrats.
