“So, uh, it’s been a very interesting journey,” Trump said in a video update prior to the SUV tour. “I learned a lot about COVID. I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school, this isn’t the let’s read the book school… and I get it and I understand it and it’s a very interesting thing and I’m going to be letting you know about it. In the meantime, we love the USA and we love what’s happening.”

“I’m about to make a little surprise visit,” Trump says in the video.

Critics of Trump say the decision to put the Secret Service agents who had to accompany him in the vehicle at risk was careless and unnecessary.

“Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days,” tweeted James P. Phillips, who is also a professor at George Washington University. “They might get sick. They may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity.”

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.
