Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song "We Are the World."

Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.

Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

More footage of Trump walking up to his velvet roped-off table to the anti-famine fundraising song “We Are the World.”

The hypocrisy is off the charts.

1. trump and Musk killed 600,000 people by cutting off food and medicine

DOGE is disbanding after an estimated 600,000+ people died in other countries because of USAID cuts to lifesaving food and medication.

Elon Musk will go down as one of history's' most prolific mass murderers of children.

Anyone driving a Tesla is supporting a nazi.

Can the copyright owners of the song sue, since the song's use at a private function was broadcast and made public?

The survivors of the original cast of 45 professional singers, many with significant cache, will raise a stink; the marmalade shartcannon didn’t poop on a single artist, but an army.

12. A reminder It was cowritten by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones

I really hope Lionel Richie comes out and excoriates him for using it.

14. A reminder Harry Belafonte put the buzz in Lionel Richie's head and he ran with it

Oh, Stevie Wonder was initially penciled in to co-write the song with Michael Jackson, but two weeks before the recording, with no song, it became clear it wasn’t gonna happen. Lionel Richie was wearing, like, five hats that night but Quincy Jones deserves the credit holding it all together and getting it across the finish line.

Great 2024 Netflix documentary merits a view if you can find it:

The Greatest Night in Pop

On a January night in 1985, music's biggest stars gathered to record "We Are the World." This documentary goes behind the scenes of the historic event.

Leaving Lionel Richie as the only one left of the main forces behind the song.

"Tomorrow Belongs to Me" from Cabaret. Just helping, here since he loves show tunes so much.

The point of the song isn’t lost on them, they think it’s funny.
