MILWAUKEE, WI — At the end of former President and U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump's 90-minute acceptance speech, the sounds of opera opened with "Nessun Dorma" ("Let No One Sleep"), a majestic musical piece performed by tenor Christopher Maccio.
-----
However, the aria also has a more sinister connotation beyond its original intention in the opera. It is featured in the 2002 film "The Sum of All Fears," based on Tom Clancy's 1991 novel. This political thriller, a sequel to "Clear and Present Danger" (1989), involves CIA Deputy Director Jack Ryan, who attempts to prevent a nuclear war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union circa 1985. Ryan faces entrenched bureaucrats from both sides and a missing nuclear warhead, which each side uses to further their agendas. At the end of the movie, Ryan is triumphant in preventing a nuclear holocaust, and "Nessun Dorma" plays. The camera shifts to various antagonists who meet their deaths by car bombs, throat slashing, and other means.
-----
Trump often claims to be a victim of the deep state or the swamp, and he promises to drain the swamp if elected. Although the violent scenes accompanied by "Nessun Dorma" in "The Sum of All Fears" are intense, they may serve as a hyperbolic metaphor for Trump's campaign rhetoric. Performing it after his triumphant speech at the RNC convention might be one of the most ingenious trolls of all time.

If that was trolling, it was a terrible thing. All his enemies to be assassinated instead of tried?
It was a metaphor - we don’t need metaphor like that right now.
bkmk
He might finally release the JFK truth now and expose the deep state.
Let’s ignore trolls and metaphors and concentrate on reality. Almost all violence comes from the left. Even Hitler was a leftist.
He’ll have to address it for sure.
RFK Jr needs to be put in charge of a broad investigation into political assassination. And the people hired to staff the effort should have no background in federal employment.
The metaphor is, “I’m coming after you”. What will happen to them is to be left for their imagination to haunt them. That way they never know what to prepare for.
Let’s keep using the tired old ‘my friends across the aisle’ method. Or maybe call them my ‘esteemed colleague’. That works really good.
And what follows that song and at the opera’s end is peace and love.

The Sum Of All Fears - Nessun Dorma
If it is actually a trolling by Trump, I doubt it’s about the scenes during the song and more about the basic premise in the film in which people are trying to get the US and Russia into a war.
Here’s the song/music/troll that closed the RN Convention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrXQib2T5XQ
That is the goal of lefties. War, power, money. They are trying that with Ukraine. What’s really sad is 99% of their followers don’t see it.
Government by assassination. A new deep state, extralegal murder. Michael Corleone cleans house. Not what I want for my beloved nation. A bad metaphor, so I hope no movie reference was intended.
I suppose we could start using the phrase of the British House of Commons when slamming a member of the opposition: "The right honorable gentleman . . ." LOL.
I've seen the movie numerous times. Justice and retribution with extreme prejudice is precisely what we need to happen when Trump becomes the president.
I agree with you.
But.... what if that is the only thing that works ? What if all legal methods fail to work and it becomes obvious that if not stopped, these people will end civilization on the planet ?
The best troll was holding his granddaughter on his lap when Biden won’t even meet one of his granddaughters.
