Should have started playing The Rains of Castamere and started locking all the doors

I don't understand how that is embarrassing. It's a good American song.

It's a song encouraging homeless people to use the YMCA for housing and a meal. It could be a subtle jab at the state of homelessness in America while pretending to celebrate American culture. Might be a stretch though.

It does sound like a stretch, but it is the kind of stretch I appreciate

It's because Trump likes the song. It's not that deep. Or if it is it doesn't matter because to Trump it's just a song that he likes.

His wife called the song and little dance he does to it gay and embarassing or something along those lines. I'm uncertain if the Chinese were aware of this though.

Got a link? I need to see this.

No video as far as I am aware, just a few articles

I mean Trump loves YMCA. That could have just been them being nice by playing a song he likes, even if it is ridiculous. But I guess in the context of the other stuff they did they were trolling him. Someone should have fun with him.
