A Donald Trump rally in Michigan was the scene of yet another oddly ironic soundtrack on Thursday night as attendees were treated to the Creedance Clearwater Revival classic “Fortunate ” as Trump arrived at the event.
Originally released in 69 at the height of the Vietnam war, the song ruthlessly criticizes class inequalities like the widespread access to deferments, or to safe military appointments provided under dubious circumstances to young men from wealthy or connected backgrounds — despite the draft that sent more than nine million military personnel to Vietnam between 64 and 75
Yet another example of how either Trump or his handlers are completely tone deaf or completely arrogant about how offensive his music choices, same as when they played Live And Let Die during his factory visit months ago.
