"Do NOT tell me he's gonna bring back the ridiculous "Hail to the Chief"!"

"He thinks he's a king."

The parallels are remarkable.

had special red and gold uniforms made, he was laughed out of the plan very quickly.
If ya google you might find pics.

THAT is when I said..."oh-oh"
plus a few choice words.
Lotta people "got" he was trying to act like a king.

Have not heard that word used much about Trump, far over-due.

We were gobsmacked when it happened.

They actually used the Ride Of The Valkyries at a number of his rallies to great effect; like I said, it was his favorite.

But I am now appreciating that he knows enough to set his stage. so to speak.
and I am getting he misses the adulation of his tv show fans.

In that diseased lil brain of his, he IS a king.

People who are having problems learning and focusing get multiple alarms of different pieces of music to cue them to do things. When my grandmother started having issues motivating herself to get up and go pee, we set up an audio cue every two hours with a piece of music she associated with water. (She had vascular dementia.) It's common in some memory care centers because one of the first things to go with long-term vascular dementia due to hypoxia is executive function and self-motivation -- the ability to organize the basic process of doing a thing and make oneself go do it.

It worked for about 6 months until that part of her brain died.

I do think he does see himself as some sot of Vader-esque bad *ss.

Yes, Vader is evil, but he had some tragic events that helped turn him to the dark side.

Trump was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and every opportunity. He decided all on his own to be an evil prick.

Here's a more appropriate Trump "walk-up" song
