"New York, New York" was written for the 1977 film of the same name. Sinatra's version was released in 1980.

I was talking to a friend who sees a lot of movies and whom I think of as generally culturally aware, and she mentioned she hadn't seen "the new Leo DiCaprio movie" yet. I said I was surprised that she didn't call it the "the new PTA movie," and she said, "Yeah, remind me what else he's done?"

FWIW, the video I think he's referring to was shared by Russian propaganda outlet RT. It shows a woman taking a single Tylenol and saying "It's gonna work like a charm and my baby won't have autism." She does not mention Trump at all. x.com/RT_com/statu...

The lyric is actually "ah-matized," but apparently it's meant to be a censored version of "dick-matized"?

I am not easily surprised by clips of Trump speaking, but I'm not sure I've heard that low, gravelly tone from him. Maybe as a momentary thing, but not so constantly.
