Trump campaign mocked for playing Titanic song at rally

As far as his opponents are concerned, Donald Trump’s latest presidential campaign is sinking so fast that his rallies include the musical theme from “Titanic.” Social media users are rejoicing that the playlist for Trump’s rally Friday in Bozeman, Montana, included “My Heart Will Go On,” from “Titanic,” the 1997 Oscar-winning film about the infamous 1912 shipwreck.

“Perfect – because when your campaign’s headed for an iceberg, you might as well set it to music,” said a user named Marc Broklawski on the social media website X.

The Kamala Harris campaign is presumably the iceberg in this scenario.

In recent weeks, the vice president has erased Trump’s poll lead after emerging as the Democratic nominee in the wake of President Joe Biden’s withdrawal.

The song is not about the shipwreck, it should be noted. Immortalized by Celine Dion, “My Heart Will Go On” is the love theme from the movie, and is about coping with the loss of loved ones. The lyrics can also be read as a testament to resiliency: “Near, far, wherever you are/I believe that the heart does go on.”
