I originally posted this in March, 2025, and at the time even I considered that it might be a bit over the top. Less than one year later it’s become clear that if anything, it was understated. So I am reposting it today with some newer images.
Mick Jagger tried to warn us. And now Americans are being executed in the streets of Minneapolis.
Mick has never been shy about mocking our Great Orange Cheeto. Britain’s rock legend has cheekily panned Trump’s policies, his bizarre ways, his outfits, his diet and more.
Alas, we didn’t listen. And not for the first time.
Because I believe Jagger saw Trump – or someone very like him – coming way, way, way before the rest of us did. If his 1968 masterpiece “Sympathy For The Devil” wasn’t written with Trump in mind it certainly should have been.
Alas, like a modern day Cassandra, nobody listened to him.
Too late now. Still, let’s take a little walk down memory lane with The Stones, shall we?
Whoo-hoo, Whoo-hoo
Get down!
I was ’round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Whoo-hoo, Whoo-hoo.
Get down!
Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general’s rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out
“Who killed the Kennedy’s?”
When after all
It was you and me
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Whoo-hoo, Whoo-hoo!
Get down!
Whoo-hoo, Whoo-hoo!
Get down!
Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo!
Get down!
Mick, Mick, Mick!
How did you know?
And now they are executing Americans in the streets of Minneapolis.
