Are the Trumps aping Bowie?

I have in a mind a longer, serious piece about how Donald Trump demands an immersive suspension of disbelieve of his audience while he embraces artifice and takes on roles and … blah, blah, blah… and I might get to it. I’ve been saving the “name in lights” pictures for such an occasion … but Melania’s Diamond Dogs hat was too much. Had to post this now. I’ll write the serious piece on another day. Meanwhile, yeah, yeah here’s a revival of my “top 10 Bowie Trump songs.” I feel like I did this before. Maybe not. You can write it yourself:

1. “I’m Afraid of Americans” (1997)
2. “This is Not America” (1985)
3. “The Voyeur of Utter Destruction (as Beauty)” (1995)
4. “I’m Deranged” (1995)
5. “Big Brother” (1974)
6. “1984” (1974)
7. “Somebody Up there Likes Me” (1975)
8. “Fall Dog Bombs the Moon” (2003) (Yeah, I know it was inspired by Dick Cheney, but it has the vibe, man)
9. “All the Madmen” (1970)
10. “If You Can See Me” (2013). And I will leave you with lines from the final stanza of that song so you get a sense of what I mean…

“I will take your lands and all that lays beneath
The dust of cold flowers, drizzle of dark ashes
I will slaughter your kind, descend from belief
I am the spirit of greed, the lord of theft
Burn all your books and the problems they make…”
