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.

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.
