Trump posted this photo alongside a video of the US bombing Venezuela set to the 'Fortunate Son' by CCR. This seems to be Trump's favorite song because he played it at all of his campaign rallies. The song is about rich men who dodged the draft during the Vietnam War.
That's such a weird choice. Isn't he basically everything the song ridicules?
He's a boomer, he probably just associates it with Vietnam war movies and cool manly soldiers in helicopter, like all burgerreich boomers he thinks they are glorifying the war
lyrics don't have meaning if you don't listen to them
and surprisingly most people don't
people are still surprised when you tell them pumped up kicks is about school shootings
When did Rage Against The Machine get so political??
Peacefully Protest Against the Machine
...what? But that's obvious???
Oh my god
Most Americans have no media literacy so it makes sense
Maybe he is gloating?
The video was made by some chud as the bombings happened, I'm guessing a Trump staffer saw it, downloaded it and reposted it.
This is true that the video was made by a Trump fan. Trump reposts a lot of bullshit videos that he finds from fans. He's posted a number of fan-made ai slop videos, including one which claimed that Trump invented magical healing 'medbeds'.
However, Trump has played the song at most of his campaign rallies. I've watched dozens of Trump rallies. Another frequently played song was 'YMCA' by The Village People.
Here's an article from 2020 where the founding member of CCR comments on Trump's frequent usage of 'Fortunate Son' at his campaign rallies.

Is there anyway to see the video without going on truth social?

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
