Saturday evening – on the heels of a majestic speech at CPAC – President Trump regaled all United States Governors at the National Governors Association Dinner with music from Les Miserables, the renowned opera portraying the French Revolution.
President Trump’s assignment of a military choir to perform “Do You Hear The People Sing?” served as a callback to his 2024 presidential campaign launch, when Trump and the First Lady entered with the same song playing at Mar-a-Lago on November 15, 2022.
President Trump is known for his highly intentional musical selections, earning him the nickname “The Maestro” among certain supporters and staff. His musical nods regarding Les Miserables signal the People’s hunger for justice to be served unto the political elite.
President Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, dubbed “the most powerful man in politics,” posted his video of a U.S. Military choir performing a deeply rousing medley of “Do You Hear the People Sing?” and “One Day More” for U.S. Governors.

In a season when Trump’s all-star cabinet is largely confirmed to administer justice, this military performance of revolutionary music brought President Trump’s campaign message full circle.
President Trump recieved a raucous standing ovation from the U. S. Governors when he first took to the podium. The president spoke in good cheer, by candelight, at the black tie event.
“I missed you for four years, very badly. That was a long journey back, Melania, wasn’t it? That was a long, tough, nasty journey. Don’t ever try it. But it was unique,” President Trump said.
“By special coincidence, today marks the 293rd birthday of George Washington. The father of our country was unmatched as a general; he was also a great executive, and a true statesman. By force of will and determination, he was also the ultimate national unifier…
“And together, we are going to be one united nation again. This is going to be the evening we start uniting. We are going to hold each other close and we are going to fight for our country,” President Trump said.
Trump exchanged friendly banter with Governor Ron DeSantis, complimented the talents of many Democrat governors, and reminded all governors to call the president whenever they need help.
“I have a tremendous respect for the burdens you bear,” President Trump said.
President Trump jovially invited all governors to join him on a tour of the exclusive Lincoln Bedroom – which he called the most important room in the country – and he left the microphone hot for any governor who wanted to speak.
Recently, President Trump declared at his Second Inaugural Address that his “proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and a unifier.”
As President Trump spearheads a national mission to restore high culture and art in American society – chairing the Kennedy Center Board and embracing patriotic artists – the Governors Dinner indicated that a strong message of unity will sustain these efforts.
In the pertinent words of the U. S. Military choir performing Les Miserables:
“Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!”
“There is a new world to be won!
Tomorrow is the judgement day
Tomorrow we’ll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store!
One more dawn
One more day
One day more!”
