No one is allowed to say they didn’t vote for this. You voted for a vulgar, narcissistic, incompetent, mentally ill, bigoted, unfit, incompetent, maleficent person to run the United States of America. You knew exactly what you were doing. Stop pretending.
Imagine claiming to be a Christian, waking up on Easter Sunday, and tweeting this.

“It seems Trump has become a phenomenon that neither Iranians nor Americans are able to fully analyze,” Iranian Culture Minister Sayed Reza Salihi-Amiri told visiting AP journalists in an interview in Tehran, adding that the president “constantly shifts between contradictory positions.” 🤭 Perceptive

He used this quite often in scores.
Elmer Bernstein's score for TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (1962) is among his finest work, yet the Oscar that year went to LAWRENCE OF ARABIA by Maurice Jarre.
No shame in losing to another all-time great score, but that happened a few times for Bernstein.
Luck of the draw.

Elmer Bernstein was also a great conductor, passionate to preserve scores of his colleagues in several excellent recordings.

The magnificent Elmer Bernstein was BOTD in 1922 (d. 2004)
A five decade career with over 100 films scored, he's one of the most important and influential Hollywood film composers of the 20th century.

How accurate this satirical caricature of Trump by Norwegian artist Christian Bloom for a newspaper comment by journalist Frithjof Jacobsen on December 2nd, 2016.
It was clear as day already back then.
Too bad so many didn't take it seriously, so here we are.
Elmer’s score had to adapt to the style of the language, as well as meet all the additional and more usual dramatic requirement of composing for the screen. "When we laid in the score the first time it flowed over the narration like a clear-running brook".

Not that it matters, but the needle of the Voltmeter is at zero/no charge. Anyway, Back To The Future is one of my all-time favorites.

Happy birthday to David Newman, film composer, born on this day in 1954.
What else can you say about a four-decade career writing the scores for over 100 films?
How about: mazel tov!
