A year from now (February 2026) — the above can be used as a checklist of what the president has accomplished, made progress on, or NOT.
The simplest, most direct way for ethical leaders to turn the country around, would be to TAX THE RICH. Here’s a little ditty about that.
UGLY FARCE
sung to the tune of “Hungry Heart” with apologies to Bruce Springsteen and to whomever else the rights may concern.
If your life is in the United States,
you’ve been taken-for-a-ride,
you have a dismal fate.
Among the wealthy, money keeps flowin’.
Leaders-TOOK a wrong turn and they just kept goin’.
Now democracy’s an ugly farce.
Now democracy’s an ugly farce.
Little-people’s-voices PLAY no part.
Now democracy’s an ugly, ugly farce. uh-oh
The sleazy types have maximum power.
Canned-videos of Trump are the LAtest trend.
The-rich took what we had and they ripped it apart.
Now here we are with lies-smears, and lawsuits again.
Now democracy’s an ugly farce.
Now democracy’s an ugly farce.
Little-people’s-voices PLAY no part.
Now democracy’s an ugly, ugly farce. uh-oh uh-oh uh-oh
Everybody is SICK of this mess.
Not everybody HAS a home.
It matters most what the money says.
We’ll see in-a-year whether the deficit’s grown.
Now democracy’s an ugly farce.
Now democracy’s an ugly farce.
Little-people’s-voices PLAY no part.
Now democracy’s an ugly, ugly farce.
(Now democracy’s an ugly farce.)
(Little-people’s-voices PLAY no, no part.) uh-oh
Now democracy’s an ugly farce. oh yeah
(Little-people’s-voices PLAY no part.) uh-oh
Now democracy’s an ugly farce.
ah ah ah, oh yeah…
