Trump has Mack the Knife as the opener tonight? It takes gross insensitivity and colossally poor “song vetting” to do that.
Doesn’t he know about the origins of the song? About Kurt Weil and Berthold Brecht? About John Gay? About the long history of the Dreigroschen Oper?
This just gets worse by the minute. The country, I mean.
I will let a historian finish my thoughts- I am too tooth-grindingly angry to write more.
