Who knew, SHITLER loves "Evita" - about a Fascist, "populist"
Saw a YouTube biographics about (the real) one, leading me to look for an answer about why Lloyd-Webber chose to glorify a Fascist regime that welcomed war criminal Nazis into their country. Side note: The bio said both Evita and the first wife died of cervical cancer that probably was given to them by Juan/carrier of HPV. Oh, also that she had a hole drilled in the skull probably for a lobotomy.
So, trying to find out why "Evita" glorified Evita, *this* bit of (not so) oddness below popped up, the only real oddness specific to SHITLER being an unexpected song of music appreciation, not his affinity for Fascism.
Maybe it's just the hairdo.

A look at President Donald Trump's love for "Evita."
.... In his 2004 book, “Trump: Think Like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know About Success, Real Estate, and Life,” Trump wrote, “My favorite Broadway show is 'Evita' by Andrew Lloyd Webber, starring Patti LuPone. I saw it six times, mostly with Ivana,” his first wife.
... Although Trump was only 6 years old when Perón died in 1952, the two at times lived parallel lives and campaigned using similar messages aimed at a specific demographic. ....
Amanda Eubanks Winkler, an associate professor of music history at Syracuse University, noted the similarities between Trump, a former reality TV star turned president, and Peron, a former radio star who became a policy making first lady. ....
A portion of the musical focused on Evita campaigning with an anti-elitist, anti-establishment message. Evita vowed to audiences that “all my Descamisados expect me to outshine the enemy -- the aristocracy -- I won't disappoint them.” ....
The ability to communicate with people through effective messaging of the Descamisados resonated with not just Trump but Thatcher, the U.K.'s prime minister throughout the 1980s. ....
“There was clearly something about this show that ticked a particular box for certain kinds of conservative thinkers,” said Eubanks Winkler. ....
