OMG, clearly the planners are trolling Trump.[/quote]
If this is real, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

If what’s real?  The song is definitely real. Its part of the American musical cannon. Sung at Woodstock, in Forest Gump,  etc.  it was really a Vietnam protest song about millionaires with Ben spurs who spent the 98% off to fight their war.  It’s incredibly on the nose. Hopefully no one explains it to Trump, or ketchup will fly. Because it was 100% mockingbird him.

And it’s the official video, but obviously wasn’t shot in the late 1960s. It was released in 2017? Or 2018? For the 50th anniversary of the band/song.  If they really played it for Trump it’s an enormous F—- You. One that he’s too illiterate to catch. But I bet Obama and Biden and both Clintons were cracking up.

The interesting blip is the NYC skyline.  The Twin towers were built starting in 1966 over about 8 years.   it looked like one of the original twin towers was standing in the background (I paused the video to check, because that view always gets to me, and always dates films from the 80s and 90s. It looks like the second had not been built or wasn’t fully built?  IDK if that’s CGI or original footage, but they made an effort to make a video that was historically accurate to the 1960s.

Here’s some interesting background.
