Trump Cranks Showtunes to Drown Out Epstein Grilling — As Reporters Debate Song Title in Comical Scene

President Donald Trump cranked up the volume on his showtunes to drown out questions about deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein as Scottish reporters debated the song title in a comical scene at the Trump Turnberry golf club.

After three weeks of the Trump administration trying to bury the promised mountain of information on deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, the heat just keeps going up. At every turn, Trump’s efforts to quash the story have only intensified interest in it, and deepened Trump’s own association with it.

As the president made his way to Turnberry, Scotland and his “Trump Turnberry” resort, Trump was still being peppered with questions about the scandal. The questions have followed him everywhere he’s gone during the trip, as reporters questioned him about developments like the potential pardoning of Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Even his golf course couldn’t keep out the onslaught of questions, but Trump did manage to avoid answering in a comical moment over the weekend that’s been circulating on social media.

In an exchange captured by Sky News, Sky Scotland Correspondent Connor Gillies immediately confronted Trump on his first day at the golf course, shouting “Are you running away from the Epstein crisis?”

The Sky News reporters pursued Trump throughout the day, and as the president tried to ignore the questions about Epstein, they tried to place the familiar tune from the musical Cats that Trump blared to drown them out:

SKY SCOTLAND CORRESPONDENT CONNOR GILLIES: Mr President, are you enjoying the Scottish hospitality? Are you running away from the Epstein crisis?

Well, there we have Donald Trump himself. The moment that we have been waiting for, the glimpse of the US president here on the course that he owns, that he boasts is the best in the world. Not in the mood for answering any questions.

…

SKY U.S. CORRESPONDENT JAMES MATTHEWS (VOICEOVER): Around this president, even the golf sounds different.

SKY SCOTLAND CORRESPONDENT CONNOR GILLIES: Are you enjoying the Scottish hospitality?

SKY U.S. CORRESPONDENT JAMES MATTHEWS (VOICEOVER): There were Sky News questions, sure.

SKY SCOTLAND CORRESPONDENT CONNOR GILLIES: Mr Trump, can you escape the Jeffrey Epstein crisis?

SKY U.S. CORRESPONDENT JAMES MATTHEWS (VOICEOVER): Maybe that’s why we heard this.

SKY SCOTLAND CORRESPONDENT CONNOR GILLIES: What’s that song?

SKY U.S. CORRESPONDENT JAMES MATTHEWS: I don’t know, it’s very famous though.

SKY SCOTLAND CORRESPONDENT CONNOR GILLIES: It’s from a musical?

SKY U.S. CORRESPONDENT JAMES MATTHEWS: Yeah.

SKY SCOTLAND CORRESPONDENT CONNOR GILLIES: Memories.

SKY U.S. CORRESPONDENT JAMES MATTHEWS (VOICEOVER): Music boomed out from the convoy of golf carts drowning out the surrounding sound and though it’s hard to hear–.

(MUSIC).

This presidential playlist included Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water. What else?

The tune in question was “Memory” from Cats — a well-known Trump favorite.
