Just before the insurection, they were playing "Gloria" by Laura Branigan [View all]

Watch this and read the lyrics while thinking about this being played just before it all went down. I suspect it was played for Trump's benefit/ridicule, but it might have been a warning. It is doubly ironic since Kimberly danced to it. Kimberly sad, creepy thing, was perhaps an even more precise fit than Trump.
