President Trump says DoorDash’s delivery to the Oval Office is ‘a little lame’
President Donald Trump said a recent DoorDash delivery to the Oval Office was in “a little bit of bad taste.”
President Donald Trump appears to be a fan of Frank Sinatra. However, the legendary singer’s eldest daughter Nancy Sinatra is not a fan of his.
The “These Boots Are Made for Walking” singer noted that President Trump posted a video on Truth Social on Saturday, April 18, of his late father singing his hit song “My Way.”
“This is blasphemy,” Sinatra, 85, said in an April 19 X post about President Trump’s use of his father’s performance.
When another X user asked Ms. Sinatra if there was anything she could do, she replied, “Unfortunately no. Only the publisher can do anything.”
Sinatra’s feelings didn’t seem to change over the next few days, and on April 20, he reposted another user’s post about the issue, writing, “This is so disgusting. “I would never have allowed him to use or say his lyrics. Sinatra was a man of honor who didn’t have to lie about who he really was just because he was the greatest. Trump is a loser.”
Why did President Trump post a video of Frank Sinatra singing “My Way”?
It’s unclear why President Trump posted the Frank Sinatra clip, as he didn’t write a caption or give any further context.
President Trump’s post came amid ongoing negotiations with Iran to end the war that began on February 28, about two months ago. President Trump and the Iranian government agreed to a temporary two-week ceasefire on April 8, following continued tensions and the deaths of 13 military personnel.
These negotiations appear to be at an impasse, as President Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Sunday, April 19th, “We are proposing a very fair and reasonable DEAL. We hope you accept it, because if you don’t, the United States will destroy every power plant and every bridge in Iran.”
Trump ended his post by saying, “No more Mr. Nice Guy!”
Who was the first person to sing “My Way”?
Although Sinatra’s rendition of “My Way” became famous and was nominated for Best Contemporary Vocal Performance at the 12th Annual Grammy Awards in 1970, he did not originate the song.
The original version of “My Way” is the French song “Comme d’Abitude”, previously performed (and co-written) by Jacques Leveaux. Canadian-American singer-songwriter Paul Anka, also known as the composer of “She’s a Lady,” wrote the English version of “My Way” in 1969.
Nancy Sinatra wrote “Truth” in an April 19th X post in response to another user who wrote, “Anka wrote the English lyrics to the music of the 1967 French song Comme d’Abitude, composed by Jacques Revaux with lyrics by Claude Francois and Gilles Thibault. Anka’s lyrics are completely different from the original French.”
Frank Sinatra was scheduled to release “My Way” in early 1969. Anka, now 84, said in a Facebook post that he wrote lyrics for Sinatra when he was only 25.
