This is "I Put Up Tariffs" 🎶- perhaps the first ever parody song (?) to make reference to the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. It's based on #BobMarley's legendary "I Shot the Sheriff" and sung from the point of view of #Trump, unleashing his frenzy of #tariffs on the USA & the world.

[Kenny Rogers "The Gambler"]
On a warm summer evening
At a place called Mar-a-Lago
I met an aging grifter
We were both too tired to sleep
So we just sat there readin'
Some secret docs he'd stolen
But his farts made it awkward
So he began to speak 1/7
Out of takin' people's money
Readin' all their weak spots
From the trust that's in their eyes
So if you don't mind my sayin'
I can see you're somewhat shifty
For some chicken from that bucket
I'll give you some advice" 2/7
And he gulped down several nuggets
Then he farted noisily
And said don't light a match
As the fart stench dissipated
Spoke a face some shade of pumpkin
"If you're gonna fleece the suckers
You gotta know that there's one catch 3/7
Stoke hate to fuel 'em
Pander to prejudice
Denounce everyone
But never mock the suckers
While they're lappin' up your bullshit
There'll be time enough for mockin'
When the stealin's done 4/7
#TrumpSong #TrumpCult
That the secret to the con game
Is seein' what fools think they know
Delusions can deceive
Since you're a stable genius
And the suckers are all losers
Just tell 'em what they want to hear
And they will believe" 5/7
He turned back to the bucket
Finished off the chicken wings
Faded off to sleep
And somewhere in the darkness
The grifter's fart stint ended
But in his final words
I learned a scam that I could keep 6/7
Need the humor and music during this dark period in our history.
Love it! x
