about

Looking at salient events in 2020 up until November of that year including some foreshadowing of some items and events which will be covered further on in the program such as we hear in the piece 'Trump Corona Remix' by Eclectic Remix which opens the track, we also hear a cover of the wistful song 'Circles' by Post Malone as rendered from auto-tuned Trump samples by the artist Editator. Mad Reindeer brings us up to date on 2020 with 'This Year is a Dumpster Fire' (there is actually an updated Part 2 version of this song available which we did not include) which of course is a parody of Billy Joel's infectious tune 'We Didn't Start The Fire'. Chris Tucker made the collage after that called 'Is Donald Trump Your President?' and the track ends with a song by Randy Rainbow called 'The Coronavirus Lament' which was the first video Randy made which was coronavirus-themed and came out around mid-March 2020. You can find the video version of it here:

There's a short modification we added to the end of Randy's song which is a clip from Vic Berger's piece 'I Am The President Derr- Trump Experiments With Hydroxychloroquine' re-contextualized to make it seem like Trump is responding to Randy's aside to him and leading into the next track....
