President Donald Trump has prompted fresh speculation after reposting a Truth Social video that opens with the line ‘the end is near’.
Over the weekend, Trump shared a clip of Frank Sinatra performing ‘My Way’, which begins: “And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain.”
The song continues: “My friend, I’ll say it clear, I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain, I’ve lived a life that’s full, I traveled each and every highway, and more, much more than this, I did it my way.
“Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway, and more, much more than this, I did it my way.”
Some viewers interpreted the choice of lyrics as unsettling, with a number of people questioning whether it hinted at an issue related to Trump’s health, while others wondered if it was a message connected to tensions involving Iran.
One person wrote: “Is he foreshadowing his demise….?”
While another said: “I would focus more on the ‘I did it my way’ than ‘the end is near’.”
And a third added: “Such a chilling subliminal. Either the end is near for us or Donald Trump. Either way, this series gets no better anytime soon.”
Another said: “Trump sharing those exact lines from My Way feels like a clear signal. He plans to finish the Iran situation exactly on his terms with no regrets and no bending to outside pressure. Straight message that he will see it through his own path.”
Earlier on Sunday (April 19), Trump also posted about revisiting plans to ‘knock out’ Iran’s power plants and bridges.
In the same update, he said he was sending vice president JD Vance to Pakistan for talks, writing: “Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn’t nice, was it? My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations.”
Trump continued: “We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!”
