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

5. going with #1

the lyrics sound -- on the surface, with the thinnest of superficial take, and no context for history or political thought -- to be sort of, flag waving, truck drivin', middle class resentment anthemish. And that's quite close enough for anything Trump is involved with -- or the crowd he rocks. Doesn't matter what the words really say. Remember -- we don't do facts or analysis. It's all about the mood, baby!

(and, yeah -- the Springsteen hit is/was a perfect illustration. never liked the song that much -- for different reasons entirely.)
