LMAO Where do you come up with this shit?

My brain was so contorted it lunged for arbitrary madlibs and there was a lot of arcade game obscura in the bottom.

This fucking jambo safari assclown is the leader of the free world btw

Jambo Safari is fun though.

Jambo Safari is fun though.

Sounds like an awesome name for Trump.

I keep thinking there is a thread called "Trump Can't Read Book" at a glance.

 

[keuja]

I hope his inauguration is a huge disaster with nobodies singing shit songs to his pathetic crowd of deplorables.

But you don't understand Hillary is being fake and probably a pollster tell her to wrote that message(even the elections are over), Trump is just telling like it is, even what he is saying about Obama's policies is false. /s

He's just tellin it like it is while crooked hillary gives typical canned response of unity peace and hope

My hope for 2017 is world peace, common sense on global warming and environmental issues, food and medicine and shelter for all and a reduction in Trump just tweeted <insert> threads on NeoGaf.

The popular vote says otherwise. This is an Electoral college victory.

Who..?

The 2010 X Factor runner-up

Fucking cares?

One confirmed artist for the event is America's Got Talent runner-up Jackie Evancho who will sing the national anthem.

I guess its fitting a reality TV show host will get Reality TV "stars" to perform. And not even the winners, lmao.

Can't wait for the Jersey Shore cast to do shots off the washington mall.

It makes sense if you look at the average American

 

[13ruce]

What a manchild, Trump just misses the neckbeard to complete the look.

 

[Already Torn]

lol you know it's bad when he's getting some British singer nobody in America has even heard of.

She said yes only if she can sing a song about how black people are oppressed in America. She ain't gonna be there.

 

[Modest Mauser]

well, no, her response sounds like she's not going to do it

She wants to perform Strange Fruit?

At a Trump inauguration...yooooooooooooooo

Strange Fruit getting played would be some shit.

I would be shocked if even this lady gets to perform given her demand is she wants to perform Strange Fruit.

 

[Jotaka]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/artic...erform-at-donald-trumps-inauguration-ceremony

She want to sing

Strange Fruit

Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop

yeah... not gonna happen

He's just gonna have Kanye perform "Blood on the Leaves"

I can't wait to see entire professional sports teams decline their usual post-championship White House visits, especially NBA teams.

Aside from being my favorite sports team, this isbthe single biggest reason the Spurs need to win the title this year.

 

[Tak3n]

from a purely selfish point, I am surprised at her management, as Rebecca Furguson has disappeared from UK minds as well.... and the whole fact most of the world will be watching it is certainly a chance to get your name out there...even if it kills your american career

 

[chubigans]

Who..?

Jackie Evancho is an amazing singer. I will not tolerate any talk of downplaying her insane talents.

 

[timetokill]

If you have to sing at the Trump thing, singing Strange Fruit is one way to get me to be okay with it

 

[Angelus Errare]

That response!...okay, she's bae! I'd watch to see her sing that shit, she'd have America so shook!

We joke.

But I can see this.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Would his people even know what the song represents?

given how many republicans are seemingly ignorant about the music they use and like (LOL Paul Ryan loving Rage Against the Machine and the continual use Born in the USA) im gonna go with a hard no.

hell people still dont understand This Land is Your Land is a protest song

 

[Foffy]

I dunno, his KKK base would probably love it

 

[Jarmel]

Oh god, Strange Fruit being sung would be the perfect song. I approve.

 

[rjinaz]

Billie Holiday. Such a beautiful voice. Such a tragic story. Sad to see that not much has changed since her passing, including the ridiculous war on drugs.

The singing of this song there would be amazing.

 

[gabbo]

Would his people even know what the song represents?

No, and their reactions in the media/on twitter after would be heinous

 

[Battlezone]

Oh god, Strange Fruit being sung would be the perfect song. I approve.

She made a critical error in explaining the meaning of the song, though. I guarantee you nobody on Trump team knew what it meant, nor would they have bothered to look it up, and just let her on stage to let loose with it. Which would have been amazing.

I recommend the Nina Simone's rendition of the song as well.
