The Ballad of a Trump Fan

Michael Friedman, the composer of many successful shows on and off Broadway, is writing music in real time on the campaign trail, and The New Yorker’s Sarah Larson has been charting his progress. Friedman's latest song tells the story of a Trump supporter from Charleston, a self-proclaimed redneck who was nevertheless glad to see the Confederate flag come down from the South Carolina state house.
