It's time for Donald Trump to wave the white flag

 If we've learned anything about Donald Trump as a politician in recent years, it's the fact that he just can't be bothered to follow protocols for licensing music to be used at his rallies.

The latest case being in Montana earlier this week, when his warm-up music was Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", from "Titanic". As usual, Trump refused to obtain a license to use the song, but, oh, did that backfire on him. Trump doesn't realize the significance of "Heart" in relation to his current campaign. He's losing in the polls to VP Kamala Harris, who followed the protocols to use music by Megan Thee Stallion, and even had Megan appear at a rally with her. Trump has probably forgotten "Titanic". Period.

Brian Tyler Cohen explains:


The Democratic convention, which starts a week from Monday, will be a formality, as Harris is already the Democratic nominee. All the momentum is on her side, despite GOP efforts to smear her or her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has gotten a ringing endorsement from one of his predecessors, Jesse Ventura, who has made the rounds of CNN & MSNBC in recent days.

With less than three months to the election, Trump has to realize that all of his usual tactics aren't landing on a younger candidate. Once he does, then he has no other choice than to wave the white flag, and withdraw from the race himself, because his is a tired act. Mar-a-Lago might as well be a retirement home now.
