“I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I’m living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed” I hope he feels this deep in his soul* *whatever is where his soul should be

Oh...trying to cover it up will be SO much worse!!

This is the tune that I have queued up to blast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc7R...

Paulo Freire Book Club?

The mad king has the music loud to drown out his crying and shouting.

I played my mom's favorite music for her all night during her final hours with us.

Having a phone date with puty

Or it might just be the American version of Swan Lake on all the TVs.

Maybe whoever guillotined him.

Andrea Bocelli’s Time to Say Goodbye?

Unless it’s a deep fake situation where someone is playing what we think he would play to keep us all guessing

😂😂

Is this music for comfort care?

What if hes on his death bed and its his going out Playlist?

Les Mis is MAGA Swan Lake

I was about to say that.

OMG, this is so true it hurts.

Let me know when "Celebration" by Kool and the gang is being played

All jokes aside, is he known for blasting random music from the WH? I've never heard about this particular quirk until today. If not, then it just adds more fuel to the mass wish-teria we're feeling on here right now.

I meannnn da fck?

Or is that a clever double bluff?

He's f*ing insane

He does not plan on leaving. The WH is now the Northern Mar-a-Lago.

Shouldn’t we call it the Concrete Garden now? 🙃

Has this.... ever happened before?

Save for Les Miz I call bullshit. He wouldn't know Bowie or the Beatles if they were performing right in front of him. He sure as hell wouldn't have them on a playlist.

Have you read the lyrics to "I Dreamed a Dream"? Not exactly a hope filled song. It's about your dreams burning into ash an unpleasant painful ending. Maybe appropriate for a divorce although he's too self absorbed to get it.

Italian arias are tear jerkers too. A lot of the music mentioned has a syrupy sentimental undercurrent.

Shouldn't that be "the former Rose Garden?"

When it switches to Swan Lake, we will know the time has come

The staff celebrating his demise?

Well... if that was the case they missed the perfect song..

Or is he choosing ‘𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩’ playlist, in preparation?

I thought he was America First. Why is his playlist made up of foreigners and a DEI hire?

Sounds like his favorites list they are blasting, trying to get him to recognize familiar things and people

Would they need to blast that loud enough to hear in other rooms though? Maybe they are trying to both soothe him and drown out whatever else is going on at the same time. 🤔

Well, his hearing is for shit these days, isn't it?

Hard to say. Can’t go by whether he listens to press questions because he replies to everything like someone who’s dropped a box of magnetic poetry pieces.

I remember him going to that Black journalists' event last year and bitching about their microphones and audio in a way that sounded (to me, a hard of hearing person) like someone whose hearing is shot and is determined to make that everyone else's problem instead of acknowledging human frailty

ah hadn't thought of that. i remember at the time it seemed like it was a flimsy ass cover to keep from having to answer questions he didn't like. Which turned out to be all of them.

por qué no los dos

...was that last year, or one of the other 12000 election cycles with him in it? god it's all one terrible blur why don't i learn to drink more

It was about a year ago, yeah

quite.

That actually was my thought as well.

Also isn’t the rose garden gone

It’s definitely NOT Trump because he’s too stupid for the brilliance of David Bowie

💯

The ghost of Bowie is sending a "cease and desist" letter to him...

Someone probably just had the Sirius XM 80s station playing. There is no other evidence presented that he was listening to anything or even there.

Define "alive"-- perhaps they've animated a walking diaper full of ... umm... err uhhhh whatever

Maybe Melania is celebrating.

Why are they all on les mis all of a sudden? Didnt vance make up some les mis bs this week?

The Last Supper

Republicans shouldn't be allowed to listen to les mis since they don't understand it

He took the day off to listen to music?

Took a page from Bongino’s book and taking a mental health day

I’m SO watching the death of Stalin when I get back home

Such an underrated, under-known movie! Survivors in Stalin’s inner circle are unmoored, not knowing whose lies will prevail once the Supreme Liar has left the building. Some good clues here to how Miller, Bondi, Vought, et al. might behave in a leadership vacuum. www.imdb.com/title/tt4686...

📌

I'd like to request some Celine Dion, please. 🙂

It's all a smoke screen ... he's probably in the hospital. Hopefully dying.

Mote it be. 🖤

I’m trying to manifest it thru will.

He drank the tea in Alaska, didn’t he?

This is my playlist titled: Hopeful/ can't wait.

You can knock, but you can't come in.

For all of us!

From the same Playlist!

Thanks for sharing both of those videos. Terrific talents.

Still listening to a solid Playlist.

Come on.

That's on everybodies playlist.

youtu.be/GSGm2-qSw3w?...

Oh yeah!

he's so gay for this

It's "happy time background music" to ease his transition as he lies in his deathbed 🤞🏻

The last time he was absent, he was rehearsing the ear bullshit.

Was the music blaring from the Oval Office at the same time as the Daily Caller WH correspondent's interview? 🤔

I suspect that Alina Habba wouldn’t be partying at a surf shack in the Hamptons if Donald Trump were on his deathbed

Bower. Giving us the hard facts again.

Ai ai ai Don’t make us too happy please

Thats enough, Anna

Siggy was on RHONJ and she was just awful, she's the worst housewife of all the franchises imho, total mean girl.

After losing to E. Jean Carroll, would she still be in the "inner circle" though?

Dang, those sure look like the wax lips you could buy as a kid.

OTOH, who would let that nitwit in on anything?

why not

..."la cage aux folles"...

There are plastic surgeons in this orbit who should be sued for malpractice.

Maybe it’s a super sad surf shack.

She knows she is back to parking garages once he's gone.

are you kidding? they've all got champagne on ice for this

Sure the cVnt would . Stupider than his spawn

Wouldn't you go party at Surf Shack if you no longer had to suck off that old orange bag of wrinkles for a living?

She’s hardly inner circle any more.

I’d be partying in a surf shack in the Hamptons

Do you think she actually cares about him?

The inescapable MAGA look, MAL women look the same, with absurdly bloated lips, redefined cheeks, maybe a nose job…

Many people are saying Vance Poped Trump!

Fake Melania cannot be allowed to know yet

Partying in the Hamptons is the plot of Weekend at Bernie's...

Haha, it literally is.

why not

Duck lips rule

Why is she there with Fred Armisen?

How dare you insult Candace by mistaking her for Fred Armisen! 😱

She’d try to blow him back to life. Right after Duffy.

The person in the middle needs some alternative kind of affirming care. Something wrong with mitochondrials

And Habba always looks like an alien

Debbie Downer over here.

Saggy needs bigger lips….

John Scott’s is in the cheap Hamptons, e.g., Westhampton Beach.

She has something in her teeth. And I’m petty enough to love that.

Think we’re going to discover that loyalty to Trump was transactional.

Alina would be one of the last people they’d tell

What the Hell else would she be doing? The woman is useless except for giving RWers a boner.

I think Alina Habba would party anywhere there's ketamine.

She would if she was the culprit.

All I can think of looking at that is only through Donald Trump can the least interesting and least talented attention whores find a semi-willing audience that allows them to act out their most childish narcissistic fantasies. As Tim Walz said: weird.

No buzz harshing Anna Bower. Join us. Leave your field to flower.

looks like she might be allergic to shellfish

Why is there a sex doll in between them??

She’s trolling for her next meal ticket.

She is so fuckin gross. Sorry...

But really, who wouldn't?

He’s worthless to her dead.

I think he has Covid. We are in a surge.

Or the regime is keeping hidden

I’m pretty sure that even Trumps cabinet knows she’s an idiot only around for her appearance and TV performances. She wouldn’t be on the inner circle list.

Uh, sure she would.

She should check her Signal messages.

Damn. Wax those brows, girl.

Yes she would. She is just another greedy grifter. Like flies to 💩they swarm around but would leave for a fresher pile if the opportunity arises

Alina is a sociopath and also they don’t tell her anything.

Is Alina the one who's been stung on the lips by a swarm of angry bees?

I would be! (I mean, if I liked partying. I’ll probably celebrate by going go a Chinese Buffet and 100% ignoring my diet.)

Ehh…

Establishing her alibi

So much filler in that pic. Cheeks, lips, please stop.

The rest of us would be

She is not even close to being important enough to be in on a Trump death bed situation

Who’s got the lifeboat lips in the middle?

Denial makes you do things.

Yeah she would. No one likes or respects 47, but they are happy to ride his tyrannical coat tails into power.

Is Alina Habba still Trump’s personal attorney as Todd Blanche (Deputy Attorney General) once was? Does she want to join the cast of a reality television show like the Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, did for mTV?

Damn good alibi for if he does kick the bucket though!

I couldn’t have done it. I was busy pumping Botox into this woman in the Hamptons.

Oh, she earned her spot in the will. She's picking up the tab tonight.

Of course she would... they all secretly want felon gone!

The lip fillers on that middle woman. Oh, baby, no...

Very Weekend at Bernie’s coded…

What did that girl do to her mouth?

Disfiguring the face is a ritual MAGA tribal women have to show worship of their God Trump.

Looking for her next mark?

Unless she's the diversion so we will think everything's fine...

Anything involving soggy Flicker is fugazi

Buzzkiller

Would YOU tell Alina Habba what was really going on, Anna?

I don’t think Habba is on the list to war game what’s next (if he were dead). She can be doing whatever since she’s useless.

She’s a sociopath, no one knows what she’ll do

Booo!

I think you may be over estimating her. Or would that be under estimating?

pretty sure she's not in that loop, so yeah, she'd still be whateverin', whereverin'...

Who knows? Maybe it'll be a surprise. Deathtoilet. Deathcouch.

Kremlinology and no mistake.

Raising the eternal question of whether the like him or just play along to stay on the gravy train.

Is that a duck in the middle of that photo?

#HabbaTime

All these magats are so phony. Look at miss lip implants and sharpie marker eyebrows.

Here’s a thought - do we know WHEN this pic was actually taken……nope.

Palliative music as he considers the death of his reign.

How often does he do that though?

why the links

Death bed vibes tho

I heard every time you play Les Mis you stop another war

It that was true I would have single-handedly ensured world peace for the next hundred years lol

I wonder, does he hear the people sing?

Let's encircle the White House and sing that song.

Then he’d say we were serenading him with his favorite song because we all love dear leader so.

Probably!

I bet he only likes Les Mis out of spite.

He's clueless. I don't think he understands the concept of the story.

🎯 trump is literally too dumb - and far too uncultured, unread and uneducated - to understand the premise of Les Misérables: that greed and ignorance are the enemies of justice and liberty. Which premise extends quite naturally to the conclusion that trump is the enemy of all Americans.

Ah but Les Miserables opened on Broadway in 1987 when he was in his heyday. It was the hot ticket amongst the cultured elite who he desperately wants to be accepted by so he made just enough effort to be familiar with one show everyone agreed was the best & hasnt needed to feign interest in a second

Truly! Very insightful!

just waiting for them to call in a fish cart to mask the stench of the decomposing body

Anybody waking his corpse in his verdion of the Rose Garden would play his music.

Don’t believe it. #whyishehiding

We don't have a rose garden anymore. It's a patio.

Cue “Big Yellow Taxi” by Joni Mitchell

a large slab of cement and that’s what they should call it “The White House cement slab”

It looks like a food court at an outdoor mall.

It looks like a swimming pool, without the swimming pool.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

no. you can't even use it as a skate bowl

It looks like a cheap food court, where people get their meal and run past the tables to go somewhere, anywhere that's more appealing... a bench in front of 21 or American Eagle.

but just imagine what it could be

a swimming pool would be way better than a concrete pad

We have a rose patio

Ok, the musical choice would also fit a Melania reaction

Could be a wake.

Funny that it's still called the Rose Garden. We need a new name for that space.

just call it the patio like normal people

I will argue we that continue to call it that It highlights the crime Perhaps one day soon, a future potus can restore the rose garden to it’s pre-2018 glory

he’s picking out his funeral music.

Everyone in the family gets a turn “holding the pillow” during a song and whoever is the lucky boy or girl gets to be president

A more likely culprit would be #DanScavino who writes the majority of #Trumps social media posts.

Swan Lake was also heard

Yeah that’s proof alright!

He might be close, though. I played my dad's favorite music the last two days he was alive because the folks at hospice said he could still hear it, and the music might comfort him.

Maybe he's asking for it from his deathbed, "just one more time, for... me?"

Not for nothing, “I Dreamed A Dream” is a beautiful song.

WIABLMITRG!?!?!??

Playing his favorite tunes while he convalesces

I'm waiting for YMCA for proof of life

Sound check and finalizing playlist for that slab of concrete to be a dance floor.

Leaving aside everything else, not sure I recall a time I've ever seen "the President is listening to music today" on some sort of Official White House schedule

Les Mis is MAGA Swan Lake

Stephen Miller (whilst eating Jean Valjean)?

[Person who lives next door to the White House]: Fucking hell, asshole knows I'm working nights this week *pillows over ears*

Great now I’m wondering which version of I Dreamed A Dream is he listening to.

SuBo?

No tweets? Since Wednesday? Has anyone seen tweets from his children?

Perhaps it's to drown out his Henry VIII screams of agony.

I love the fact that they take at face value the claim that he’s meeting with people.

Be a lot cooler if you were wrong.

We’re back in the late 20th century, waiting for state media to broadcast dirges hours on end.

smdh he’ll do anything to not release the epstein files

John Mulaney?

Showtunes loudly bouncing off off the concrete patio. It’s like the Senior Center in a Northeastern mill town.

Just thinking about him standing there for 30 minutes swaying to "Ave Maria" and "Memory".

And how everyone just went along like it was completely normal..

Remember that time at a town hall when he stopped taking questions and just started playing music and dancing for 40 minutes? Seems like the same songs.

Bocelli, right.

Yes! Grandpa's Playlist! I said at the time it looks like he's doing some kind of self eulogy, no shit. It's why I was sure he was cooked. especially "MEMORIES" not that he listens to lyrics, but...

Wasn’t there a report during his first term that he needs his favorite music to help him calm down? His aides had a playlist to use, remember that?

Ok, but doesn't Donald Trump famously not listen to music at all?

That’s why I think they blasted the music and just pretended he was out there. He’s probably getting one of his “massages” if he’s just dead.

He famously listens to showtunes, though. And of course dances to music a lot, and steals music for rallies which pisses off the artists. No, he loves music, and maybe they put this playlist on to ease his passing.

lol donald trump does not love art in any form, including music. gtfoh.

...art is subjective but he really loves showtunes. He saw the original run of Evita 6 times, produced a failed off-Broadway play, and his staff plays 'Cats' to calm him down. www.newyorker.com/culture/cult...

What Rose Garden?

The patio formerly known as the Rose Garden would work

You know how people like to hold onto their memories of a better past? It’s kinda like that. It sounds more whimsical than the Concrete Patio.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOIH...

Is this a parallel to the Soviet broadcast of Swan Lake perhaps?

He’s a drama queen! I can imagine a scenario where he is bedridden and consoling himself with show tunes.

100%.

Maybe the equivalent of Swan Lake on Soviet TV? 😉

if this turns out to be literally the case, I will NEVER stop laughing holy shit

I've been thinking. In my advance care directive, I've written that I want Brahms 2nd Symphony, 3rd Movement, to be the final piece I hear. Maybe the Les Mis is being played to him, not actually by him.

This matters to no one but me but I meant to write 4th movement, the finale.

I had this thought too Though this would imply that there’s someone in the building who cares enough about him to do such a thing

I dreamed a dream...

Famously a song with no association to death, too.

What if it's his g-g-g-ghost??

Wait, he had a media interview earlier? When?

You mean the Concrete Slab?

...that's his mortician's playlist and it is taking a long time to get that black bag zippered up!

They're going to seal him up in the Oval Office like it's a pyramid vault.

The Beatles is blasphemous AF like it's literally music made to spite dictators and wars

But it’s exactly what you’d do to keep him calm if he’d had a stroke.

You're the one who reminded the teacher they were going to do a pop quiz weren't you

I think he played the wrong Les Mis song.

For the time being he is. This is way out of character for him. He must feel really sick.

He's with Laura Loomer.

Syphillis can kill but I strongly think Trump took Loomers virginity

Other than Les Mis, everything else has a suspicious stink of James Bowman.

The Ted Nugent cover version?

We’ll know he’s gone when Melania starts blaring The Chicks: youtu.be/Gw7gNf_9njs?...

I was hoping for “The Bones” by Alice In Chains

“Man in the Box” is my choice.

Hell yeah

I thought there was some bell ringing involved in these kinds of things but hey, what do I know I guess we wait until we hear a Frank Sinatra tune

When Fox News starts playing Swan Lake on endless repeat, we’ll know.

that song's gotta be the worst possible special interest/tic

Yet another cover-up? 😁

Doctor RFK is giving him the Grover Cleveland treatment and they need to muffle screams and the various slopping of viscera.

Ah dammit. Les Mis is like total confirmation it's him.

💯

I think I’ll go to sleep believing just to see what it feels like.

If Swan Lake comes on, let us know.

Oy‼️

That's what they want you to think!

Any white smoke?

Doesn’t he play Les mis when he’s feeling sorry for himself?

Same with con te partiro

It's giving... youtu.be/RcbddBfoaG4?...

YESSSSSSSS 🎯

Probably on the roof the other day looking for that fiddler

May God bless and keep the president... Far away from us

Any Swan Lake?

he has opened a new club in the wh, charging millions for membership fees and playing the dj. presidenting is too boring.

he wouldn't listen to any of that

As good as two party confirmation.

Not The Merry Widow?

He paved paradise and put in a parking lot

🏆

Actually that song would appropriate again.

And protesting back then. Here we are again 🙄☮️

How true. And, you must be my age! Lol! That is DEFINITELY not what we felt and believed in those long ago days when we were swaying or jamming to this song.

Is trumpstein aware he has policy meetings?

Shouldn't they change the name of the Rose Garden to anything else, since Trump killed the roses and there's no more garden?

Cement Patio feels right to me

Let’s all remember what happens to Fantine after ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ 🙏

The body double they hired to replace him 👀

The problem is, though the double looks and sounds like Trump, he keeps making sense, giving the game away. It takes years of practice to be so incoherent

I hope someone asks him to explain the plot of Les Mis before he goes. Final words like "I've always loved Thénardier and Javert, you know, people are calling them the true heroes of the story now but they've been unfairly attacked by a lot of nasty people for a long time."

Even if he is alive, reports like this will guarantee that nobody believes it

That was 11 hours ago, lot coulda changed

Probably sulking that he can't goto China to meet his buddies

Lol of course bsky.app/profile/vonh...

This fits the weekend at Bernie's hypothesis perfectly, btw

If you wanted to drown out the sound of doctors frantically shouting orders at each other while working on a patient, you might just playing some music so nobody could overhear the work...

Trump is playing Les Miserables at this time of year at this time of day in this part of the country localized entirely within your Rose Garden? Yes. May I see him? No.

I don't know if he's on his deathbed, but this is just weird.

Who was the interview with? Time to get them on the phone.

Daily Caller per @dbernstein.bsky.social

Another weird thing: he basically NEVER does reposts of other accounts. Normally he'll just post a link directly to Fox/Newsmax/etc. or just post a screed in full. But none of that with the court decisions today, just a repost? Something's definitely up.

Beat ya by like 10 minutes bsky.app/profile/madw...

Damn.

Bowie? 🤷‍♂️🤔

OK I was testing this like a fun collective bluesky fantasy but now I I know for certain he's gone

When my mom-in-law was in hospice we played all her favorite music.

Choosing the music for his service…?

I don't doubt he's alive. I do wonder if he's under treatment or "bed rest" or some such (keeping legs raised, for instance, or on a regular drip). If he passes up golf on Labor Day weekend, I'll be convinced something's pretty wrong.

As long as it’s very painful

the music is to muffle the screams and groans?!?

Muffle the flying dishes and ketchup bottles? Or perhaps “let’s play his favorites loudly so the press thinks he’s in here”

Oh don’t. Record them and Snoop can use the recordings for his next drop.

Of his victims being burnt at the stake. :-/

Dude. The name. Chefs kiss.

Painful and incredibly humiliating

It might get updated later, but right now this is a pretty clear "no-show" schedule

Was that to cover up his death rattles?

A paedophile president celebrating paedophile Michael Jacksons birthday.

Ummm.

Rose Garden Grave. Because Trump Destroyed and Eliminated "The Rose Garden" too. Yet another poinantt Violation of a Cherished Asset. Call it what it is "Trump's Cement Slab." The Cherished, Beloved Key Rose Garden Feature and Meeting Place at The Whitehouse needs Our Real President.

Stephen Miller would...

Les Mis = WH version of Swan Lake.

Just trying to ease his passage into the afterlife.

What Rose Garden?

Yes, but we sing “One Day More” for a very different reason.

Is this even a real email? Sounds absolutely fake...like they're trying to hard to reassure ppl that everything is hunky-dory

He’s one of those annoying neighbors. Of course he is

I am so fucking pissed at Trump for sliming all over Les Mis. IT'S ABOUT STARVING PROSTITUTES AND STUDENT REVOLUTIONARIES. YOU ARE JAVERT. FUCK OFF.

look he plays YMCA at his rallies full o'homophobes, they've never been good at noticing irony

(Except of course he doesn't have Javert's conscience or self-awareness; he's Thénardier but with power.)

This. He’s Thénardier. Javert was also smart, self-made, and good at his job (and both he and Jean Valjean were based on Eugène Vidocq, an actual guy whose life sounds even more made up than either of theirs).

I am so glad to learn this

He also thinks Javert is the hero of the play, for finding the criminal and shooting all those students.

But then he jumps off a bridge, which really doesn't seem like winning

Trump does not deserve to hear Bowie.

I was grossed out by that too 🤣

Rose Garden. There isn't any Rose Garden.

It’s like the Ce-ment pond at the Beverley Hillbillies mansion.

Do they always plan his movements like a special Eddy?

Most transparent administration ever!

Transparent? No But they are bad liars and we can see right thtough them But not transparent Opaque and Byzantine

That's not even remotely true. Why would you say that?

Apologies, I'm usually able to transcribe sarcasm much better than that. I shall work on improving that skill.

Apologies, I'm having a difficult time telling who's being snarky these days.

The dying enjoy listening to music.

If he did weird shit like this and that "At 12, it's marginal, right?" quip and was decently competent and avuncular, he'd be beloved, but him being a terrible old trash pile just makes this all hair-pullingly absurd.

youtu.be/0GsajWIF3ws

Could be trolling. Could be to make him #1 topic of conversation again. Instead of Gavin C. Newsom. Could be he is sick and they’re covering. Who cares? I’ll check back in on Tuesday. Refuse to allow the Oligarchy Regime to take over the holiday celebrating workers.

It’s appropriately middlebrow for any of those assholes but also, maybe that’s what they want us to think?🤪

I am thinking he is at Walter Reed and the Dancing Queen is having a party.

If we're going by the musical, I Dreamed a Dream means that next he'll sell his body on the docks and quickly die from tuberculosis.

Okay but does the music selection identify WITAOD?!

German state radio played four excerpts of classical music before they announced the Fuhrer was gone.

Which Bowie song?

Ashes to Ashes.

I was gonna go with Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) in honor of his cabinet.

Panic in Detroit (or any other city where they’re disappearing brown people)

The Man Who Sold the World

Accurate.

"I'm Afraid of Americans".

“Under the God” Tin Machine but technically still Bowie and frighteningly prescient for a song that dropped in 1989. youtu.be/LdG2UzNYiis?...

Lazarus

Is Mel dreaming a dream?

Oh no, now someone’s playing Fore! Huey’s most accomplished album.

Person man woman camera Le Mis

Us: The day it happens, there will be music playing. You: Why are they playing music at the White House? Maybe it's all connected... 🤔

He is in a diabetic coma. If not before, subsequently.

Shhhhhh. No, no, no. They're *planning* the music for a big event for him.

Hope it’s for a funeral.
