Nancy Sinatra Hits Trump Where It Hurts, He Won’t Get Over This

This will frost Donald Trump when he gets wind of it, for two reasons: 1. His adulation of Frank Sinatra is once again thrown in his face, unrequited and 2. The fact that the music world in general can’t stand him is rubbed in his face. If there’s one major problem that Trump has is that all the musicians of the world seem to hate him. He can’t use the Rolling Stone’s music. Or Adele’s. Tom Petty’s. Issac Hayes, Aerosmith, The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen. Beyonce. Celine Dion. I could wear out the keyboard listing all the names. And that means Trump can’t use their music FOR MONEY! Money is not their issue, the fact that they don’t want their art associated with Trump is their issue.

So amidst all that, along comes Nancy Sinatra and says to the Harris/Walz campaign, “Here, let me give you my work. Knock yourselves out.” That’s in quotes, but it’s my synopsis of what the sentiment seems to be here, not an actual quote by Sinatra herself. In plain English, musical artists, at least this one, are happy to give Kamala Harris work that Trump can’t get for love nor money. HA! to quote a lyric from “These Boots Are Made For Walkin'”

Donald will not be happy. Of course Donald is not happy about a great many things. And now I’m wondering if maybe Nancy Sinatra’s gesture will extend to other artists and they’ll give Harris/Walz their music as well. This could be a snowball turning into an avalanche effect, if it happens, and would drive Trump simply nuts. The music is a sore spot with him. That’s because it shows celebrities rejecting him and Trump has always craved the adulation of celebrities. Apparently that’s what he needs to fill up that empty space where his soul should be.

And Trump adored Frank Sinatra. In fact, Trump was so enamored of Sinatra that he made up a whopper of a lie about him.

Seth Meyers shredded Donald Trump’s claim that he once received advice from legendary crooner Frank Sinatra.

Trump told a rally in New Jersey over the weekend: “Frank Sinatra told me a long time ago, ‘Never eat before you perform.’ I said, ‘I’m not performing, I’m a politician, if you can believe it.’”

“No, I can’t believe it,” Meyers commented on Monday’s broadcast of his “Late Night” show. “And here’s why, because Frank Sinatra died in 1998 and you became a politician in 2015, so that conversation didn’t happen.”

“Under what circumstances would Frank Sinatra be talking to Donald Trump and his main advice for Trump, who again was neither a politician nor a TV personality when Sinatra was alive, would be, ‘Don’t eat before you perform,’” Meyers added.

“Maybe Trump was offering Sinatra food and that was his excuse,” the comedian joked, before mimicking a potential exchange between the pair.

There was reportedly no love lost between “My Way” singer Sinatra and Trump.

Amid a contract dispute in the 1990s, Sinatra reportedly instructed his manager to tell Trump to “go fuck himself.”

Nancy Sinatra, the singer’s daughter, is a fierce critic of the former president.

“I’ll never forgive the people that voted for him, ever,” she said in 2021.

I can certainly understand that sentiment. Good for Sinatra. This will rankle Trump on a lot of levels now. It’s Harris getting the accolade and support from celebrities that he craves and it’s another fuck you from Frank Sinatra, from the grave and via his daughter, who also hates Trump. Plus, when the story gets around, people will laugh at Trump. And you heard him say it yourself, “I hate it when people laugh at me.”
