“Some were alarmed that the soon-to-be 80-year-old was posting when he should be resting, while others focused on the lyrics of 'My Way', writing: "President Trump shared a clip of Frank Sinatra performing 'My Way'. “And now, the end is near / And so I face the final curtain… I did it my way.” Hinting something?"”

This theme is present but not independently corroborated.
