Out of touch politicians use Elton JOhn songs for political gain
How exactly is Rocket Man an insult? It’s a song about a blue-collar worker who has to leave his family to fix things he doesn’t understand. He’s alone on a cold planet. Rocket Man is basically a song about Trump’s core supporters. Sure, he doesn’t understand science, but neither does Trump, so the insult can’t be that. Yes, the man is poorly educated, but Trump loves the poorly educated. So where’s the insult? Unless everything Trump has said about his core supporters is a lie. Maybe the insult is because Elton John is gay?
If I were Kim Jong-un, I’d embrace this as my anthem. I’d frame myself as a man of the people. I’d put this on every state radio and have people translate it. I’m the Rocket Man, and I am standing up to the bully that is America. All of the sudden, Kim becomes immediately more likable as he gets the affirmation from Trump about Kim’s own workman like qualities.
The poorly contrived Trumpian insult has led other leaders to follow suit. Kim has said, “Trump just can’t wait to be king.” One wonders who the real Madman across the Water is? Putin called Number 45 “his little Nikita.” Angela Merkel had little hope that Trump would say Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and find a path that leads to reality.
Trump later warned North Korea again against an Act of War and declared that Bennie and the Jets were ready to respond to any aggression. In a further explanation of Trump’s comments, Sarah Huckabee said that Trump was using his small Healing Hands to embrace the world and that these hard words were like those of a father to an unruly boy who had gone too far.
In a non-sequitur, Trump called Canada’s Justin Trudeau “Hay-Chewed” though staffers are insisting he said “Hey, Trude!” With the release of HRC’s new book, Trump tweeted “The Bitch Is Back.” All of this seems like a mighty fine way to take your attention away from what Republicans are doing to your healthcare.
