As President Trump toured a Phoenix mask manufacturing plant on Tuesday, the dulcet tones of "Live and Let Die," as performed by Guns N' Roses, filled the air.

Trump, sans face covering but wearing goggles, visited the Honeywell factory during his first trip outside of Washington, D.C., since March. While "Live and Let Die" isn't a Trump rally staple, several songs that are, including "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor and Lee Greenwood's "God Bless America," were also played during the tour.

It's unclear if "Live and Let Die" was a Trump selection, or a pointed message from the day's designated DJ. Catherine Garcia
