You could ask if there’s any point to unpacking the Spotify playlist of Donald Trump, or Donald Trump in general, for the so-called ‘leader of the free world’ has such a terrifying, perplexing, unfathomable outlook on life, politics, and everything in between that it sometimes feels easier to look away rather than dive under the layers of fake tan and aged skin.
But really, finding the whites of the eyes underneath that menacing glare, certain aspects of Trump’s everyday life are far more human than you might ever believe.
We all know he loves golf, glitzy hotels, and a dose of societal fascism to boot, but this is all really in a day’s work, and pretty boring, by his standards.To get through the mundane slog of the office, just like the rest of us, Trump needs to get the tunes on, and helpfully, whether we wanted to know or not, a leaked version of his Spotify playlist pulls back the curtain.
Surprisingly enough, it’s not all the Village People and Kid Rock; there is actually a lot more diversity in there than you might think. In fairness,it’s not an extensive playlist,with only 13 songs from start to finish,but if it’s possible to span as many genres in existence within the most limited number of tracks imaginable,Trump may well win the prize.
He begins as many men of his particular age demographic might, with a bit of classic rock, and in this instance, it’s Metallica with ‘Enter Sandman’ and Guns N’ Roses with ‘November Rain’. Those two choices are crucial for different reasons: firstly, Metallica were so offended that Trump used their hit in his political videos that they banned him from using it, but also that ‘November Rain’ is such a perfect pathetic fallacy for how the rest of the world felt when he won the election that you almost couldn’t write it.## donald Trump’s Surprisingly Diverse Spotify Playlist Raises Eyebrows
