      Trump is quite literally the exact type of person that song is making a point against. Silver spoon, draft dodger, “millionaires son”

        No, because the people that make these songs and the ones who support them, seem to ignore people like Trump.

        It’s only the “other ones” they count…

          Are you suggesting that when John Fogerty wrote that song in 1969 he wasn’t opposed to spoiled rich folk? That’s one perspective, but he said the exact opposite…

          You’d hear about the son of this senator or that congressman who was given a deferment from the military or a choice position in the military. They seemed privileged and whether they liked it or not, these people were symbolic in the sense that they weren’t being touched by what their parents were doing. They weren’t being affected like the rest of us.

          In point of fact, when Fogerty found out that Trump was using his song, he issued a cease and desist order.
