More Trump music
I wrote about this last year. (See here.) As his term finally ends, popular culture scholars have probably begun the process of assessing Trump and the music at his events. Here is some of the music that did and did not accompany Trump today:
YMCA
Some analysis from the far-righters at Newsmax:

(Note -- Trump would have been 32 in 1978.)

But not "Hit the Road Jack"
As some of you know but many people don't, this viral video is doctored. A military band didn't play "Hit the Road Jack" outside the White House.

The doctored video put fake audio over real @Acosta footage from Monday (https://t.co/sjqL0GOs6j) of the band playing another song. pic.twitter.com/YpGxmNRP0r
Fox News

On the other hand, praise for Biden probably won't last very long. The Daily Show gives us a preview of tonight's Hannity show:
