Nancy Sinatra responds to Donald Trump having 'My Way' performed at presidential inauguration

Nancy Sinatra made it clear two weeks ago that she believed her father Frank Sinatra would not have supported Donald Trump, or performed at his inauguration.

Now a fan has asked her how she feels about the prospect of 'My Way' being sung at the event, after reports that the famous song would be performed for Trump's first dance with his wife Melania as US President.

"Just remember the first line of the song," she responded.

"My Way"

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain


Somewhat appropriate, don't you think?

Another is "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life"


Because of "Life is quite absurd and deaths the final word. You must always face the curtain with a bow."

They sure love to bellow out the chorus of Born in the USA.

But i don't think he could ever be comfortable with Drumpf's racism.
