Yo Yo Ma: I would never play for Trump, not even on his deathbed
Financial Times (Subscription) ^ | September 7, 2018 | Laura Battle

But surely, I push him, Bach could give Trump a valuable lesson in humility; if he asked you to do a private performance . . . ? “Would I play for him on his deathbed? No,” Ma says. “I operate on the premise that absolutely anybody can change, and I also recognise that it’s possible that somebody may never change . . . I also think, just by observing the performance arts world, huge ego is very often matched by huge insecurity.”

He’s a Buddist socialist.

Trump should be proud.

"I also think, just by observing the performance arts world, huge ego is very often matched by huge insecurity.”

You mean like yours?

Trump would want Sinatra singing “My Way” on his deathbead, not some insipid Chamber music.

Yo Mama has an over inflated ego. Thinks Trump would want to hear him play in the first place.

it is a rather odd name for a human being, isn’t it?

Well, he has actually commented on it, thusly:

and he is a good musician insofar as that goes

Should I call him "Yo Yo", or should I call him "Ma".

Anyway who cares really. All that groupie adoration has gone to Yo's head. He lives in a bubble where everyone worships his music and told him how great he is.

He cannot comprehend that there are lots of people who don't really care.

I have said for a long time, way before Trump, that you would be able to tell when you had a great president when the left was screeching like a pack of wild banshees. The way the leftists in this country have become unhinged is proof positive that Donald Trump is truly a great man.

He’s just another putz in the long line of, “Who can hate Trump the most”.

They should start their own awards show, “The Trump Hater Awards”, with a little golden statue named, “Whoopie”.

“The winner of this year’s “whoopie”, is...”.

It will be awarded to whoever has had the best zinger toward Trump in the past year.

Side awards will be like, “Best Supporting Fake News Award”, etc.

They could all dress up in their tranny best and walk the rainbow carpet into the theater.

The media would die of spasmodic, unending, orgasms.

now that is a very intelligent assessment

(and yes, i have never ever seen any pack of politicians or, for that matter, the mass media and some movie actors....
go SO COMPLETELY INSANE...... its weird! really strange!... I mean, if they don’t like the president, so be it.
I didn’t like the previous president, but I didn’t let him drive me into the lunatic asylum)

something is really odd...?
