This is a little too much for our ears.

As reports of the divorce between Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump have circulated, various theories have been floated about why they're splitting. And now an unearthed song from singer Aubrey O'Day may be a pretty big hint that confirms one of them.

The latest reports suggest that Trump Jr. had an affair with O'Day, a member of pop group Danity Kane, when she was a participant on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2011. And there are a few bread crumbs along the way that point to some truth.

First was the (now-deleted) tweet O'Day sent on election night following Trump's win, which no one knew how to interpret at the time.

And then there's this: A cringey 2013 song titled "DJT" which talks about a love affair that's fallen apart. It combines a conversation with some occasionally sung lines which is all meh -- until you realize oh hey the song's title doubles as Trump Jr.'s initials.

Does this mean that the conversational parts of the song were taken from a real breakup conversation between O'Day and Trump Jr.? Would that mean that this mind-melting exchange was real? (The male part is in italics.)

You want to believe that everything with me was a lie? A fantasy? And you want to go back and live in the life that you had have forever? I don't know, I couldn't do what I said I would do So that answered the question for me I'll always want you and always wonder about it But it doesn't matter because I have to stay here

There's something both terrible and mind-blowing in envisioning Trump Jr. sneering this retort over the phone as O'Day pleads for affirmation:

I have to move on, I need your help I can't believe that this was all a lie You have to tell me you love me I don't 'cause you're a fucking pain in my ass

There's certainly room in music for great songs about an affair -- from Dolly Parton's "Jolene" to TLC's "Creep" -- but this song is not one of them, and it will take an eternity to scrub all of the imagery in it from our minds.
