I AM IN A TOTAL RAGE! Pavarotti's widow has complained. He just borrows Puccini and one of the world's greatest operatic tenors to announce his plane flying into Cleveland, blaring it out on loudspeakers.

Maybe they'll grab Kiri Te Kanawa's beautiful rendering of O Mio Babbino Caro when Ivanka campaigns with her "dearest daddy."
Maybe Melania, who was a jewelry designer, can blast few bars from a recording of Maria Callas"Vissi d'arte" while they're at it.
This guy has NO SHAME. I am going to beat up a pillow...

The little video in the article shows the plane landing w/that ending blaring away.

I think the most appropriate opera selection would be the chorus "Ahi, caso acerbo" from L'Orfeo.

(63,901 posts)and very strongly, with certainty. Trump is in our faces (in this case operatically/dramatically/with flourish) to drive home one of his main messages which is his certainty of ALWAYS winning.
