The song playing?

Nessun Dorma…
"None shall sleep, None shall sleep!"

"Even you, oh Princess, In your cold room, Watch the stars, That tremble with love And with hope"

"But my secret is hidden within me, My name no one shall know"

"On your mouth, I will tell it, When the light shines"

"And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!"

"Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars!"

"At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!"
Nessun Dorma is a famous aria from the opera Turandot by Giacomo Puccini. The aria is sung by Calaf, who is mocking the princess."

What strikes me is how Trump evokes such deep emotion - for some its utter dismay and disgust and for others its sheer joy and even tears of happiness. This is incredible to witness and quite unique. These are very interesting days to be alive.

The shibboleth effect was striking in 2016. No one was lukewarm about Trump.

Some of us overdid it with the celebration.

going to be an interesting day for sure

Trump promises blizzard of executive orders on first day of presidency
On the eve of his return to the White House, President-elect Donald Trump promised to sign a blitz of executive orders on his first day as president, telling supporters that he would move with "historic speed and strength" in the hours after taking the oath of office.

Addressing a racuous crowd of thousands in a Washington DC arena for a "Victory Rally", Trump offered a preview of the next four years and celebrated his November election victory over the Democrats.

The Republican promised to act unilaterally on a wide array of issues, using his presidential powers to launch mass deportation operations, slash environmental regulations and end diversity programmes.

"We put America first and it all starts tomorrow," he told the crowd at the campaign-style event, adding: "You're going to have a lot of fun watching television tomorrow."

Trump is expected to sign more than 200 executive actions on Monday. This would include executive orders, which are legally-binding, and other presidential directives like proclamations, which are usually not.

"Every radical and foolish executive order of the Biden administration will be repealed within hours of when I take the oath of office," the incoming president said.

Trump promised executive orders that would ramp up artificial intelligence programmes, form the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), make records available related to the assassination of John F Kennedy in 1963, direct the military to create an Iron Dome missile defence shield and eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies from the military.

He also told supporters he would stop transgender women from competing in female sports categories and hand back control of education to America's states.

He used to be a celebrity with good career prospects. Obviously, something went wrong somewhere and now he's scraping the bottom of the barrel.

True, aside from some cool cameos in movies like Rocky, Hulk Hogan never really broke through into the mainstream as later day wrestlers such as The Rock, Dave Bautista or John Cena did. Brutha!
