Trump using "Rockin' in the Free World" by Neil Young but does he realize that song is making fun of the United States?

The lyrics are ridiculing America for having so many homeless people and drug addicts and whatnot. It's supposed to be sarcastic, like "y'all consider yourselves free but it seems like you're not doing so great."

I seriously doubt he understands the irony, I heard he was told he couldn’t use it anymore

I'm not sure Americans have ever really got irony!! 🤷‍♀️

@Harriet03 A lot of Canadian rock songs about America are actually making fun. Like [i]American Woman[/i] by the Guess Who. "American woman, stay away from me, I don't need your war machines, I don't need your ghetto scenes."
