The Village People will play for Trump after attacking him

Counter-order, comrades. After attacking him, the Village People decided to perform for Donald Trump, celebrating the tycoon’s inauguration as the new president of the United States. The picturesque icon group of disco music of the late ’70s will perform today to the tune of “YMCA” on the stage of Trump’s Maga Victory rally at the Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, among the many collateral events linked to the inauguration ceremony of The Donald. And there is (already) a barrage of criticism on social media. The same ones also received by Snoop Dogg, who on Friday evening was the protagonist of an exclusive show in Washington linked to the launch of Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency, TrumpCoin.

What fans object to the Village People is the sensational turning point. Yes, because Chad Freeman, James Kwong, JJ Lippold, Victor Willis, Angel Morales and Sonny Earl, these are the names of the members of the group, in 2023 warned Donald Trump against using their “Macho man” during his rallies, after the Republican candidate for the US presidential election had it played at an event at Mar-a-Lago. Last year, the Village People publicly supported Democratic candidate Kamala Harris during the presidential campaign.

Asked to justify their decision, the Village People wrote a long post on their official social channels: “We know this will not make some of you happy, however we believe that music should be performed without regard to politics. Our song ‘YMCA ‘ is a global anthem that will hopefully help unite the country after a tumultuous and divisive election campaign in which our favorite candidate lost. Therefore, we believe that the time has come to unite the country through music, and that is why the Village People will perform at various events as part of Donald J. Trump’s inauguration in 2025.”

Snoop Dogg was also accused of inconsistency, who in 2017 in a music video simulated shooting a clown who looked like Donald Trump. The tycoon didn’t take it very well: “Can you imagine what the outcry would have been if Snoop Dogg, career in decline and all, had aimed and shot President Obama? He would have gone to prison!”, Trump tweeted. But already last year the rapper had said in an interview with the Times that he had “nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump”: “He has only done great things”. How to change.
