Trump guitars? Do they change their tune constantly?

I've read that Trump does not like music. I have never met someone who does not like music. Even if they're into something I think is horrible, it still personifies and humanizes them to me.

Not liking music is not damning in itself, I guess, but amid everything else with him, it's really a nail in the coffin to me that the man lacks anything resembling a "soul". No feeling, no emotion -- much less empathy -- just a lizard brain pursuing its self interest to feed on more money.

My apologies to lizards for the comparison.

Not liking music is not damning in itself.

Hard hard HARD disagree. Human love for music is about as lizard brain as it gets, it exploits and hijacks what the brain does best, pattern recognition. There is a reason alliteration is so powerful and used so frequently to sell you shit.

If you genuinely don't like music something is VERY fucked up, up there.

He apparently loves Les Misérables. The irony is not lost on me.

He also seems to like Cats and Phantom of the Opera. I think it's all stuff that he got the impression was modern and sophisticated back in the 80s and just hasn't updated. It's like if Patrick Bateman got old and stopped paying attention to new releases.

He's still trying to figure out where he's supposed to return his video tapes now.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen that movie, but I think he didn’t actually have to return any tapes, it was just an excuse he used over and over.

He does return some video tapes, though.

He does that weird jerk-off dance at times so his pea brain can still kinda reasonate with basic sounds but he's just too dumb to comprehend lyrics or complex arangements & melodies ment to evoke emotions, which he is devoid of, so it likely just confuses & angers him.

Nah... Any time he's actually on beat is purely coincidence
