Why does Trump love playing 'Fortunate Son' at rallies? John Fogerty has a pretty good theory

3. first, i don't think donnie himself is picking out every individual song.

probably sometimes he says let's play this song or that song, but i doubt he does it every time and i'm guessing he didn't pick this particular song. and if so, i doubt it's because of any vietnam era imagery rattling around inside his pea-brain.


personally, i think it's a song about resentment of ordinary people against other people taking advantage of an unfair system. that plays right into the right-wing martyr syndrome, where they're just ordinary people and victims of government policies that somehow give minorities an advantage over white people. the logic of their thinking is ridiculous, but they're convinced they're the victims and their resentment is huge.

this song reflects resentment, so it fits, even though the target of the resentment should be donnie. republicans inexplicably think donnie is on their side.
