Trump has always promised to ‘drain the swamp’. Was he sending a message?
Just after Trump's 90-minute acceptance speech, the sounds of opera opened with "Nessun Dorma" ("Let No One Sleep"), from the final act of Giacomo Puccini's opera "Turandot", performed by tenor Christopher Maccio.
The aria is featured in the 2002 film "The Sum of All Fears," based on Tom Clancy's 1991 novel. This political thriller, a sequel to "Clear and Present Danger" (1989), involves CIA Deputy Director Jack Ryan, who attempts to prevent a nuclear war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union circa 1985. Ryan faces entrenched bureaucrats from both sides and a missing nuclear warhead, which each side uses to further their agendas.At the end of the movie, Ryan is triumphant in preventing a nuclear holocaust, and "Nessun Dorma" plays. The camera shifts to various antagonists who meet their deaths by car bombs, throat slashing, and other means.
Trump has always promised to ‘drain the swamp’. Was he sending a message?
Performing Nessum Dorma after his triumphant speech at the RNC convention might be one of the most ingenious trolls of all time.
