So we won’t pay attention to his courtroom antics, Trump brings lots of printouts for his mini-presser after Thursday’s trial session.
Trump’s playlist
Donald also controls the volume of the (Mar-a-Lago) music, which is usually ear-shatteringly loud, perhaps to compensate for the age of him and his guests.
“Trump shakes hands as people pass his table near the front. After dinner, he’ll open his iPad and play the hits. Sometimes it’s so loud that people have trouble talking. He marvels at the sound quality filling the garden.”
And what exactly does the disgraced former president play from that iPad? The playlist may surprise you.
- It’s Trump’s golden oldies: “Phantom of the Opera” … “Jesus Christ Superstar” … and Elvis, including “Suspicious Minds.” Plus “Hello” by Lionel Ritchie … Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain” … and the duet by James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti, “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World.”
- Sinéad O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” is a favorite. REM snuck in a couple of weeks ago. Elton John’s another favorite.
The only bad thing about letting Trump be DJ? He almost never changes any of the songs, which must be maddening for anyone who wants to see some new tunes added to the rotation.

Judge Merchan has excused the juror who said he finds Trump “fascinating and mysterious,” and was accused of failing to disclose his arrest in 1990s for tearing down political posters. Trump’s team wanted him on the jury, hoping for a mistrial.
