Trump, 79, Posts Bizarre Grim Reaper-Themed AI Music Video
Source: Daily Beast
President Donald Trump was back online and back to posting more incomprehensible content after a double date at Vice President JD Vances residence Thursday night, with one post in particular, an AI-generated music video, standing out from the rest.
The video, which is soundtracked by what is presumably an AI-generated cover of Blue Öyster Cults 1976 hit (Dont Fear) The Reaper, portrays former OMB director and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought as the reaper in question.
The visuals, which are also AI-generated, show Vought as the Grim Reaper, cavorting around Washington, D.C., while wielding his scythe. Interspersed throughout are shots of a band led by Trump playing a cowbellone is famously used on the original trackaccompanied by Vance on the drums.

The lyrics to the song are, Now their time has come / Here the powers gone / Russ Vought is the reaper / He wields the pen, the funds and the brain / Here comes the reaper / Dems you babies / Here comes the reaper / Gonna tie your hands / Here comes the reaper / Wont be able to fly / Here comes the reaper / Cry baby end your plan.

(3,449 posts)Vought's Trump's hand-picked Director of Management and Budget (OMB)
From The Conversation website--"Who is Project 2025 co-author Russ Vought and what is his influence on Trump?"
"Throughout the campaign, Trump strenuously denied Democrat accusations of having any connection to Project 2025. But a large number of his appointees contributed to the Heritage Foundations publication, and numerous Project 2025s recommendations have quickly been put into action. These include Trumps high trade tariffs and Doges cost-cutting initiatives.
"During his confirmation hearing in the US Senate, Vought reiterated his belief that the White House has authority over federal spending, not Congress. This contradicts article I, section 8, of the US Constitution, which grants Congress the power to tax and spend for the general welfare of the country.
"For the majority of constitutional experts, the executive (the president) may propose a budget, but it is Congress that authorizes it."
