At Dinner in the White House
Army choir sings musical hit for Trump-is there protesting behind it?
Donald Trump and the governors of the United States met for the dinner in the White House. A song sung by the Army Choir for Donald Trump causes discussions.
How well do US President Donald Trump and the governors know the musical “Les Misérables”? Many Americans have been doing this question on social media since the weekend. Because of the annual dinner for the governors in the White House, videos are circulating about the appearance of the US Army Chorus. The women and men sing a song from “Les Misérables”. For uninitiated, “Do You Hear the People Sing?” Simply around an earwig from the popular musical. But who pays attention to the text hears: it’s about resistance to oppression.
An assistant from the US President filmed the appearance and put it on X. There, the clip alone now has more than 7.8 million calls. Interest should also be so great because many are wondering: understand those present, what is sung towards you?
Among other things, the song says: “Do You Hear the People Sing? Singing the Songy Men? It is the Music of the People Who Will not Be Slaves Again! When the Beating of Your Heart Echoes the Beating of the Drums is a life about to start when Tomorrow comes. ” In German: “Do you hear people? The song of the angry men? It is the music of the people who are no longer slaves! If the beating of your heart is the echo of the drum stroke. It is a life that begins when the morning comes. “

The X-account of the White House recently shared a photo created with artificial intelligence: Donald Trump with a crown and the line “Long live the king!”. Since then, the slogans have been going against the supposed “king” in anti-trump protests.
“Congestion pricing is dead. Manhattan, and all of New York, is saved. Long Live the King!”

And now the army choir sings a song from a musical that deals with the uprising against a French king in the 19th century. Coincidence? Or does the choir send a message to the US President?
Donald Trump and a musical song from “Les Misérables”
In fact, that Trump has long been a fan of musicals in general and “Les Misérables” in particular. Maybe he even wanted the song now discussed. A request from the newspaper for the song selection have so far left both the White House and the US Army unanswered.
For the time being, Trump opponents can continue to speculate how the performance came about and whether a message was behind it.
