What is it about the Village People that Trump loves so much? I always liked them, but does he realize that they are gay and the Evangelicals should be clutching their pearls over that fact? Pat Boone is more his speed and Pat cheated on Shirley.

And YMCA is the gayest song of the Village People oeuvre. Do these numbskulls ever listen to the lyrics?

NO, they do not. Remember his dumbass campaign playing CCR's "Fortunate Son" at his rally? About privileged assholes who didn't have to serve?

And the dumb-asses who think "American Woman" is a patriotic song instead of the slam it actually is.

Yeah, dumbass Reagan tried using Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA". Stupidly, no one on his staff listened to the words.

ЁЯдгЁЯдгЁЯдг. Didn't realize the meaning of Fortunate Son". Love CCR but heavy accents -- missed a lot of words

He wants to steal the gay anthem, and make it all about him. I laugh because Magats aren't smart enough to listen to the lyrics, to understand any song that isn't bro-douche country.

I wondered the same thing. Do the people dancing in the video realize the village people song is about young gay men canoodling at the YMCA, ie public bathhouse? The lyrics aren't cryptic or coded. Isn't that their big problem - gay, trans, bathrooms , the whole thing about different people living their lives as though they were also entitled to liberty and happiness? They must be so stupid but all well dressed and plenty of house to go around. I do not understand how our culture rewards stupidity and meanness. WTF.

Roy Cohn was his "mentor" so I'm pretty confident that he was introduced to the wonders of man love.

Seeing him walk out of that room with Putin in Helsinki showed me that. He was all hunched over, acting like "Reek" in game of thrones. Tiny Putin looked so much taller, and was definitely the Dom in that scene.

Oh I remember so well about Pat Boone. It was the 60's, I was living in Phoenix, and I knew the beautiful young woman who was also a highly paid "call girl". I was also friends with her brother - we were at her apartment one evening when she was preparing to go meet Pat Boone right after the show he was doing.
