According to Anthony Scaramucci, Trump Played Us a Tune!

Scaramucci: Just like the corny ‘Squeeze Box,’ Donald Trump continues to bellow & bray!

Former White House Communication Director Anthony Scaramucci recently said, “It’s a big Tell when Donald Trump does ‘the accordion thing’ – that is a frightened Donald Trump!  When he tells you how great he’s doing in the polls – that is a big Tell for him.  That he’s frightened, frustrated & lying.”

Next time, watch when Trump does this at the Rallies: His arms go in & out rapidly just like he’s playing the accordion!

I’ve never been a big fan of the sound of an accordion, but I did notice other people listening & dancing to it.  Oh sure, I polka’d once – but I lost my big toe!  And no, I don’t want to talk about it!

To a lot of people, the accordion is ‘a funny instrument’ – corny & a little gassy.  They say it’s easier to learn if you already know how to play piano & close up an Umbrella!  haha

And, if you already know how to play the Tuba – you shouldn’t even attempt it!  It’s like marrying Cousins – it’s great the 1st week – but the Family Reunions are murder!

As a child, I remember my brother tried taming the beast.  My poor mother was livid – it took him a whole lesson just to get the Straps on!  

Accordionists in many countries have a long history, but in the U.S., long before a Lawrence Welk – the first real accordionist star was Dick Contino from California.

Contino got his first break when he played “Lady in Spain” & it became his theme song – albeit ad nauseum to the delight of budding Comics.  Nevertheless, it was a showstopper & he was on The Ed Sullivan TV Stow 48 times!  That’s more than Ventriloquist Senor Wences!  haha

Lawrence Welk followed & his TV Band Leading success made Middle America happy on the dance floor or cozening up on the couch with Grandma.  I never watched it myself, but my friends say it was good Birth Control!

Welk

A big shout-out to today’s top accordionist, Cory Pesaturo from Rhode Island – a 3 Time World Champion who performed at the White House 4 times!  

Melania says that’s 3 times more than Trump! 

Sorry, I couldn’t resist!  heehee

My brother?  He gave up the Accordion & took up the Bagpipes!  Best decision he ever made – Mom never requested “Lady of Spain” ever again!

Scaramucci bad music
