From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

With a propensity to have his feelings hurt by the slightest wrong or betrayal, President Trump is not so different from the narrator in a classic emo song.

Super Deluxe realised this and harnessed it, turning his recent tweets about Meryl Streep, SNL and accusations of voter fraud into angst-ridden song in the vein of early Brand New.

His bitter sign-offs (sad!) of course make an appearance, with “Very unfair!” kicking the chorus off proper.

“We noticed that Donald J. Trump's tweets are basically the lyrics to an early 2000s emo song," the video content page wrote, "so we turned them into one."

The video accompanying the song has attracted 5.6 million views in 14 hours.
