The Modern White Supremacist's Song

Trump:
I am the very model of a modern white supremacist
With Nazi propaganda from my Jewish chief polemicist
I read no books, I've got no friends, I have no curiosity
No manners, and no character except my grandiosity;
No music, patience, empathy, no courage, and no loyalty
Except to brutal despots and hereditary royalty—
I like the rich and powerful, and all authoritarians
Korea, Russia, China, and the Muslim Saud vulgarians.

Self-Loathing Chorus:
He likes the rich and powerful, and all authoritarians:
Korea, Russia, China, and the Muslim Saud vulgarians.

Trump:
I haven't got integrity, compassion, nor normality,
No conscience, no respect, no shred of honor, no morality
I do not recognize the ancient truths nor modern verities
And cheat and steal from businesses and governments and charities.

Self-Loathing Chorus:
He does not recognize the ancient truths nor modern verities
He cheats and steals from businesses and governments and charities.

Trump:
I love the evangelicals because they're most defraudable
I love the left-wing liberals because they're very proddable
And often it's the same damned thing to which they are susceptible
Some happily accept what others deem as unacceptable.
When something that I do or say is widely hailed as horrible
The white-bread theologians all embrace it as adorable
At least they say in sermons my behavior is ignorable
And Protestant or Catholic they cheer themselves deplorable.

Self-Loathing Chorus:
At least they say in sermons his behavior is ignorable
And Protestant or Catholic we cheer themselves deplorable.

Trump:
They say "I'm not a racist, but"—and then they say a racist thing,
And if they have a choice of two they always say the basest thing.
I let them wave their Bibles and believe what they have guessed I meant
Although there's not a person who is white in either testament.

Self-Loathing Chorus:
He lets us wave our Bibles and believe what we have guessed he meant
Although there's not a person who is white in either testyment.

Trump:
When everybody's outraged and the internet is simmering
That's when my trollish ego is most Freudianly shimmering
I love it when the Democrats are shocked dismayed and scandalized
By yet some other of their sacred cows that I have vandalized.
I call you people names because when you are most antagonized
That's when my basest base is most excitedly band-wagonized.
There's really nothing to it—why the more that I'm notorious
The better chance my white folks have to finally be victorious.

Self-Loathing Chorus:
There's really nothing to it—why the more that he's notorious
The better chance we white folks have to finally be victorious.

Trump:
I'm President because I lied and cheated electorally
And nothing you can do can touch me legally or morally.
With Nazi propaganda from my Jewish chief polemicist
I am the very model of a modern white supremacist.

Self-Loathing Chorus:
With Nazi propaganda from his Jewish chief polemicist
He is the very model of a modern white supremacist.
