七十四歲高齡的特朗普（Trump）是一位精力充沛的總統。他積極參與所有總統競選活動，期間更創下一天舉行五場造勢大會的紀錄，可以說是前無古人，後無來者。據簡單統計資料所示，特朗普為2020總統競選，舉辦了超過一百場造勢大會，他愛護人民和國家的熱情，以及為了目標而勤奮努力的態度成了花旗人心目中推崇的英雄。
叮噹和大熊雖沒有親身出席特朗普總統的造勢大會，但夫婦二人從未錯失在電視機前觀看特朗普在各州各郡造勢大會中的演說。各場造勢大會，主辦單位不忘在特朗普演說前播放歌手李·格林伍德（Lee Greenwood）振奮人心的「上帝保佑花旗（God Bless the U.S.A）」來為總統演說揭開序幕。總統演說結束時候又會播放另一首音樂去鼓勵人民。
God Bless the U.S.A
Singer：Lee Greenwood
Songwriters: Lee Greenwood
If tomorrow all the things were gone
I worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife
I thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to L.A.
Where's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say
That I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
過去，特朗普總統的造勢大會選用了滾石樂隊（The Rolling Stones）主唱的「你不能總是得到你想要的（You can't always get what you want）」作結束音樂。正如歌詞所述「你不能總是得到你想要的，但是，如果你嘗試的話，你可能發現你會得到所需要的東西。」或許這就是特朗普團隊鼓勵民眾不斷爭取「需要的而非想要」的背後含意。
You can't always get what you want
Singer：The Rolling Stones
Songwriters: Keith Richards / Mick Jagger
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well, you might find
You get what you need
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse"
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find
You get what you need
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
You get what you need, yeah, oh baby
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well, I could tell by her blood-stained hands
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, oh yeah
大選前，特朗普在競選造勢大會改用了鄉下人樂隊（Village People）主唱的「YMCA」作結束音樂。歌詞中問道「年輕人，你在聽我說話嗎？我說，年輕人，你想成為什麼？我說，年輕人，你可以實現你的夢想。」相信這就是特朗普激勵人民的心意所在，因為年輕人可以實現任何夢想！

Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy
Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do what ever you feel
Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams
But you got to know this one thing
No man does it all by himself
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf
And just go there, to the YMCA
I'm sure they can help you today
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do what ever you feel
Young man, I was once in your shoes
I said, I was down and out with the blues
I felt no man cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so tight
That's when someone came up to me
And said, young man, take a walk up the street
There's a place there called the YMCA
They can start you back on your way
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys
YMCA, it's fun to stay at the YMCA
Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down
Young man, young man, pick yourself off the ground
YMCA, it's fun to stay at the YMCA
Young man, young man, are you listening to me
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?
YMCA, you'll find it at the YMCA
No man, young man, does it all by himself
Young man, young man, put your pride on the shelf
YMCA, and just go to the YMCA
Young man, young man I was once in your shoes
Young man, young man I was down with the blues, YMCA
有趣的是，總統特朗普在大會結束歌曲「YMCA」播放時候，竟聞歌起舞。他的獨特舞蹈動作更紅遍網絡，成為很多年輕人的模仿對象，大家紛紛挑戰特朗普的舞姿，比併誰人模仿總統舞姿最真最像，好些年輕人更說模仿「特朗普之舞（The Trump dance）」的動作有難度，不是想像中那麼容易掌握。不知道大家有否興趣挑挑戰自己的模仿能力，一起跳「特朗普之舞」呢？
