The Making of an American Ingrate

First you have to dangle some Ukrainian bait
figure out some new conspiracy fears to create
set an impossible to reach achievement date
imply this campaign scam is inescapable fate
let some billionaire bully boys out of the gate
obstruct all Congressional steps to investigate
destroy emails and documents before its too late
trick out clubs and towers with fixtures ornate
specify bathroom fixtures all be 14K gold plate
watch Saudi oil fields around and near Kuwait
keep a closer watch on the Federal interest rate
give bonus oil shares to the Secretary of State
let the release of years of my tax returns just wait
on Putin’s pipeline going through the Ukraine relate
 
‘Truth Isn’t Truth’: Guiliani Rap Perjury Trap
Former New York City mayor, prosecutor, and Trump adviser Rudy Guiliani recently answered a question by stating on TV “truth isn’t truth.”
 
Children separated, some in cages, many parents are deported
Fake news? a big hoax? give me a break, a lie is a lie till you die
its all been seen online and TV, photographed and duly reported
some objective reporting, ‘truth isn’t truth’ when is a lie not a lie
Guiliani on TV online former prosecutor going absolutely nuts
Trump never turns in tax returns, his base slowly sees and learns
30 hrs. testimony, no ifs or buts, WH lawyer McGahn spills his guts
in his grave George Washington hears the lies and over he turns
senior citizens are now in old age not early rising in their youth
you can’t believe it now because Guiliani says ‘truth isn’t truth’
if truth is not truth then couldn’t old age sometimes be youth
tell the truth! Trump does not have a single wisdom tooth.
Isn’t it true? Ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no more lies
if a bucket of BS is coming close your mouth, shut your eyes.
 
45 Suffers From ‘Foot in My Own Mouth’ Disease
To ‘put your foot in your mouth’ means to say or do something that you should not have, especially something that embarrasses someone else.
—Cambridge Dictionary of English
 
There has been no denial about reports that President 45 is suffering
from Foot In My Own Mouth Disease, he even took off his socks!
No matter how many aides make corrections and try buffering
he keeps putting his foot in his mouth, shocking! and there it locks
his answers and tweets are comic tragedy, a veritable French farce
former CIA director Brennan calls them “nothing short of treasonous”
regarding most of his responses 45 sounds like a classic horse’s arse
he constantly thinks his unthinking knee jerk answers are pleasing us
if you have ever read or seen the ancient Greek plays of Aristophanes
seen or read histories, comedies, tragedies with Shakespeare’s clowns
45 is a living 21st century version of all these political commentaries
as he stumbles and bumbles through his Presidency’s ups and downs
we recognize autocracy, plutocracy, kleptocracy under 45’s command
let us sing Woody Guthrie’s national anthem This Land Is Your Land.
