Trump

In late-1980s New York, singer-songwriter Cindy Lee Berryhill helped spark a new movement called anti-folk.

Known for her sharp eye and humor, she included this track—centered on a future president—on her 1989 album Naked Movie Star.

Using Donald Trump, then famed as a real estate tycoon, as its motif, the song is known for its biting portrayal of him as a symbol of capitalism.

Set to a band sound produced by Lenny Kaye, it’s striking how the music captured his outsized persona even before he entered politics.

It’s also fascinating to listen as a historical document when you want to soak up the atmosphere of the era.
