So the Cheeto Benito wants to confiscate private land via eminent domain to build his wall; and he wants it painted black so it will absorb more sunlight, making it too hot to climb! Never mind that black also radiates more heat, thus cooling faster at night — and it seems to me like wall crossings would be more likely to occur by dark of night, but maybe that’s just me.
He’s reportedly told aides not to worry about trivial things like laws, because if they do anything illegal in his service he’ll just pardon them. And he wants it done by election day, because it’s important to his reelection campaign.
Well, I must say, I was moved. So much so that I was inspired to create something in tribute to the Chosen One. So here, with apologies to Mick and Keith, is a song for Trump’s wall.
I want a big wall and I want it painted black
We'll take some land from folks and never give it back
Latinx people come here in their Latin clothes
Steven Miller won't rest till every one o' them goes
If you break laws for me, don't fret — I'll pardon you
‘Cause if I don’t win this election, I'll be through
An honest D. O. J. won't be so kind to me
I fear they'll lock me up and throw away the key
So don't let people vote if they are brown or black
We've got some voter rolls for Vladimir to hack
Mitch McConnell turns his head and quickly looks away
‘Cause he needs Putin's help or in power he can't stay
No more will rust belt states be red; they'll all turn blue
Rage tweets won't win the race, but what else can I do?
Gin up the base with talk of God and guns and gays
Spread hate and obfuscate and we might be okay
So build a wall for me and paint that sucker black
Migrants from shit-hole countries? We will send them back
We want Norwegians and Slovenes to come instead
With skin of pasty white and hair of blond or red
Hmm hmm hmm...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun make it too hot to climb
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
Painted black, yeah
