Much like when right-wingers like to play Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" at their events. They seem oblivious to the fact that it's a song about the failures of their own economic values.

It's also quite possible that Trump only hears the "It ain't me. It ain't me." chorus. We are talking about a guy who has never taken responsibility for his own actions in his entire life, after all.
