Paid Appearance

I needed somebody for cover on MY trip to Pittsburgh
But NOBODY agreed to come along because they heard
That I intended to go just for MY vote-getting gain
And NOT, as a “normal” person would do, to help ease pain
I lied and lied about those I said were coming with ME
But in the end the ONLY ones who went were MY family.

Jared and Ivanka told ME that I had to go
Despite the “optics” that foretold the whole damn trip would blow
I made a million phone calls to find someone to agree
To provide cover needed by “appearing” there with ME
But everyone I asked to go had something else to do
They had to wash their hair or were just coming down with flu.

So off I ALONE flew with ONLY MY dumb family
And a few random Jews I made go ‘cause they work for ME
And everywhere when we got there mass “protesters” resembled
The crowds who on MY Great Inaguration Day assembled
It’s a good thing I can’t “read” because their signs were NOT nice
At least that’s what I was told by those who give ME “advice”.

As Suckabee has said MY trip was “humbling”, OK?
Now quit asking your goddamned questions, there are Votes in play
I went, I threw some flowers around, then I came straight back
To plan more Rally trips so I can go back on attack
Pittsburgh was a waste of time, NO benefit to ME
The next time Jews get shot I’ll only go if paid a fee.
