Donald Trump Dancing On Stage To YMCA Goes Viral
Already bewildered by President Trump’s lightening-fast COVID-19 recovery, many Americans are further mystified as to why he would be dancing maskless on a stage while the country is, metaphorically and literally speaking, going up in flames.
At a campaign rally in Florida on Monday night, Donald Trump took to the stage to boast his newfound “immunity” to COVID-19, less than two weeks after his announcement that he and first lady Melania had contracted the virus. He then offered (or threatened) to kiss all of his notably maskless supporters in attendance, in another intended boast of his good health.
Trump then proceeded to dance to The Village People’s “YMCA,” which many found to be a graceless move, considering the ravaged state of the nation. As it currently stands, over 215,000 Americans have died due to COVID-19, a sky-high death toll relative to that of many other countries. Even in terms of per capita death rate, the U.S. ranks No. 8 in the world, which many feel is the result of President Trump’s failure to take precautions against Coronavirus earlier in the year despite knowing how severe the situation could become.

Trump ironically capped off the night by tossing facemasks into the crowd, despite not wearing one himself. Trump dancing on a stage while citizens of his own country struggle to pay rent, hold down jobs, and stay in good health struck many people as extremely tone-deaf as they hate-watched in awe.

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.
Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.
