Der Trumper’s Face

When der Trumper says, “I really won that race,”
We Heil, Heil right in der Trumper’s face.
When the Trumper brags and lies and rants and raves,
We Heil, Heil and follow him like slaves.

When Judge Cannon makes our courts a big disgrace,
We Heil, Heil right in Judge Cannon’s face.
When Alito said, “You’ll never jail that clown,”
We Heil, Heil and burn our freedom down.

Are we not the MAGA men
January 6 MAGA men
Ja we ist der MAGA men
Convicted felon MAGA men

We bring the world new borders
Mexican wall new borders
Every nonwhite race with love der Trumpster’s face
When we bring the world new borders

When der Trumper says, “I really won that race,”
We Heil, Heil right in der Trumper’s face.
When the Trumper brags and lies and rants and raves,
We Heil, Heil and follow him like slaves.

 

Spike Groans realizes that satire didn’t help Germany in 1932. He’s not too optimistic about America in 2024 either.
