The Attitude with Arnie Arnesen
Our Demented Don
Some say that he’s demented—Sleepy Don with purple hand,
And he surely sounds demented when he climbs up on the stand.
He seems confused when people ask, “Why have an MRI?”
He says he passed it perfectly, but cannot tell you why.
When tested on cognition, he says the room was full of docs.
Why they were there he cannot say, but claims his test score rocks!
His ankles are quite swollen and his head is swollen too.
He surely acts demented. His speech provides a clue.
What healthy person calls another “garbage,” “ugly,” “fat?”
“Retarded,” “birdbrain,” “psycho,” “fake,“ and other slurs like that?
Don loves to slander women, especially if they’re black.
For mysogyny that all can see, he has a special knack!
No matter what the Donald says, no matter whom he whacks.
His merry band of minions sticks right with him, has his back.
This little group of misfits has its own disorders rare,
As they chose to show reporters of the mag Vanity Fair.
Wiley Susie says the Donald lies and retribution seeks.
J.D. she calls conspiracist who of ambition reeks.
She was trying to be loyal, but to also seem quite frank.
That’s a slip’pry slope for Donald’s tribe, and they have him to thank.
For the Donald lies so often and so easily it seems
That his minions can’t keep track of every dream Dear Leader dreams.
Nor can Demented Donald, but for him there is no need.
For he can lie about his lies; indeed, that is the Donald’s creed!
