A Dutch indie band just got a huge career boost from Trump

Most of the world has never heard of Along Came Jones, an indie band from the Netherlands. I certainly hadn’t.

As far as I know, they’re named after an old song by The Coasters, who apparently do mostly covers. But then President Yamtits Trump posted this on Truth Social. Why? No idea.

Note the reply from the band.

Trump has gone completely over the edge in this deranged post.

Good for them. Here’s hoping they get a lot of attention.
