Contributing sentiments towards policy:

74% : 8) "It's A Man's Man's Man's World," by James BrownNothing about this song says "I am a good song to play at a political rally," but it is also an extremely on-the-nose choice for Trump.
61% : Trump does a little windshield-wiper hand gesture that seems intended to evoke dance, and then he taps rhythmically along on the back of a chair.
43% : Noem tries to wave along to it, but Trump is unmoved.5) "Nothing Compares 2 U," by Sinéad O'ConnorToo little dancing, which is saying something for a Sinéad O'Connor song.
42% : He does the Dance Arms again, and Noem takes this as encouragement to fully do the "Y.M.C.A." letters, prompting Trump to look at her as though she has just devised these moves herself; he does not copy them.
37% : It is better, at least, than Stephen Miller displaying photos of people he claims are immigrant gang members and asking the audience to boo.1) "Memory" from the musical "Cats"By this point, Trump is making his exit.
32% : Trump is bothered by this selection and asks his team to provide the one with vocals by Luciano Pavarotti.10) "Ave Maria" Again, But By PavarottiTrump seems bolstered.
23% : Mostly, Trump just stands there, lost in the music.
17% : Trump suggested "Ave Maria" instead.
