President Donald Trump made several dozen social media posts Saturday night about everything from election fraud to his administration’s policy regarding farmers, but one post in particular sparked concern among onlookers.
The post in question was a nearly four-minute video of cultural icon Frank Sinatra performing “My Way” – among his most recognized songs and notable for its use at funerals – in 1978 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. Trump posted the video without commentary, leading many observers to voice concern due to both the song’s subject matter and the post’s ambiguity.
“[What] is going on? Should I be in a bunker or something?” wrote X user “Pope Respecter,” a popular social media user who comments on religion, in a social media post to their nearly 44,000 followers.
“Should I be preparing for a global famine?” wrote another X user, “Michael Orthodox,” also a frequent commentator on religion.
The vague online post came as the U.S. war against Iran continues to escalate, with Iran reversing course over the weekend and re-closing the Strait of Hormuz to U.S.-aligned vessels, prompting fury from the president who on Sunday reissued fresh threats to destroy Iran’s civilian infrastructure, actions that would likely constitute war crimes.
“The United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!” Trump wrote Sunday morning on his social media platform Truth Social.
