TrumPooning Tunes

Trump's image of self is an Andrew Jackson, who sadly died before the point was made

Footloose by Dean Pitchford & Kenny Loggins inspired this perspective on presidential history — now and then

Been working so hard
Outsider, my card
I hired White Pence
Cause I lack experience

I’ve got this feeling
They’re thinking I’m just a clown
I’m used to dealing
Judges are holding me down

Now I gotta go south
FootMouth, can’t avoid constant gaffes
Sean, I’m done, civil war tale got laughs
Shit, I quit, never said that I’s well-read
How could I know, Jackson was long past dead

(ohohohohoh — FootMouth — ohohohohoh)

I’m tryin’ to be cool
Don’t remember English in school
But I’m really like smart
I know more syllables would help
If I knew those words
And they fit my tweet-talk style
And in the interviews
I can’t hear, think, speak and smile

So I open my mouth
FootMouth, while wearing shoes and socks
Ooh-whee, Tiff’ny, sometimes up to my knee
Priebus, ‘tween us, I’m thinking no more talks
White House in the south
Help me avoid FootMouth

( ohohohohoh — FootMouth — ohohohoh)

If I want to be presidential
Is speaking good an essential
But making sense is so hard

No, no, no, nooooooooo …

I’m heading down south
FootMouth, Spicer can just push back
The plan, Kellyanne, will keep them off my track
Not her? Then Miller, a zombie but gives no slack
If there’s, still flack, Fred Douglass has my back!

( ohohohohoh — FootMouth — ohohohoh)

( ohohohohoh — FootMouth — ohohohoh)
