    I'm a Limey Gator from Limeyland.
    No idea. But take care of accusing a Brit of 'not being a Country Music' fan in a small town over here. You'd get lynched.

    The mere fact you are having to explain who that person is, what type of music he plays, list his accomplishments and further legitimaze him by identifying one of his fans who is well known here says it all. Nobody has to do that with Taylor Swift.

    Also,a word in your title, "Trumpelicious," implies taste.. How in the world did you get past his horrendous body odor?

    Dershowitz has been in Trump's camp for a while. Epstein Island Bros gotta stick together.

    Some will be in primarily white districts, so they won't need to stand in line. ;)

    True, but those motivated enough to register will also be reminded of the need to actually vote.

    This story is funny and timely. You'd have to be from outer space to not know Elton John:

    Elton John's New Remarks About Trump Are Likely to Have Dems Losing Their Minds – RedState

    (2) Variety on X: "Elton John on his reaction to Donald Trump calling Kim Jong Un “Little Rocket Man”: “I laughed, I thought that was brilliant... I’ve always been friendly toward him, and I thank him for his support. When he did that, I just thought it was hilarious.” https://t.co/QXV9VqAtuT https://t.co/MNhsNzFwlR" / X (twitter.com)

    When Trump was inaugurated in January 2017, one of his priorities was to avoid a war with North Korea which most were predicting at the time.

    Kim Jong Un was dubbed by Trump to be the Little Rocket Man because he was continually threatening to attack the US with his new rockets he was developing.

    Of course, Trump went on to meet with Kim Jong Un in which Trump told Kim I have a bigger rocket than you. He also gave Kim Jong Un an Elton John CD. Trump met briefly at the DMZ when Trump crossed over into North Korea for an unscheduled meeting. The results, no war with North Korea.

    From the article:

    As our sister site Twitchy noted, John was interviewed by Variety when they asked about Trump referencing his "Rocket Man" song in relation to the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The reporter prefaced it by saying, "I know you're not a supporter of Donald Trump." so it sounded like he was trying to lead Elton to a shot at Trump. Except that's not what he got.

    Variety @Variety - Elton John on his reaction to Donald Trump calling Kim Jong Un “Little Rocket Man”: “I laughed, I thought that was brilliant... I’ve always been friendly toward him, and I thank him for his support. When he did that, I just thought it was hilarious.”

    “I laughed. I thought that was brilliant. I just thought, 'Good on ya, Donald!' I am the Rocket Man. Donald's always been a fan of mine, and he's been to my concerts many, many times. I mean, I’ve always been friendly towards him, and I thank him for his support. When he did that, I just thought it was hilarious. It made me laugh."

    He was told that Trump gave Kim one of Elton's CDs, and that seemed to amuse him, too. He said he thought the Rocket Man nickname was a "light moment; it was fun."

    Just me, but I think Elton John being friendly and on a first name basis with Donald is a pretty big reveal.

    While talking about Limeyland, I've read in the past that Trump and Queen Elizabeth had a good relationship too.

    Is there a reason that you are likening Elton John to country music? Does he have any country songs?

    I didn't liken Elton John to country music.

    I also did not link Kim Jong Un and Queen Elizabeth to country music. (shaking head)

    You could make a case for Taylor Swift as country music provided the start of her career in music.

    What revisionist nonsense.

    "When Trump was inaugurated in January 2017, one of his priorities was to avoid a war with North Korea which most were predicting at the time."

    What orifice did you pull that out of?

    I imagine that’s why they want her endorsement. To encourage better voter turnout among her fans.

    Can we be sure though, that they aren't just Russian trolls, since Russia is once again actively trying to help Trump win an election?
