For many, this might've been the first time they had heard the extraordinary 'God Bless the USA'... and such saccharine, unadulterated red, white and blue patriotism at this early hour probably caused them to choke on their cornflakes. The song is by Nashville star Lee Greenwood and is actually one of the best known songs in the States, having been a Republican anthem for decades. First released in 1984, it was used by Ronald Reagan in 1984 and George W Bush in 1988. Trump, 78, shared a video to his Truth Social platform earlier this year, describing the Bible as his "favourite book." No, I hate this song because it doesn't make any sense."
