| “Since when do Republicans care more about criminals in jail than the cops who put them there? Since when do they coddle domestic terrorists? Since Donald T***p. A new report in The Daily Beast shows how the fish rots from the big orange head.” —Maureen Dowd, The New York Times, July 31, 2021 |
How many hurt? How many dead?
How many at that rotten core?
The fish rots from the big orange head.
How many let themselves be led
by what they rightly should abhor?
How many hurt? How many dead?
What was it that he did and said?
What is it that they now ignore?
The fish rots from the big orange head.
Who should have been in jail instead
of causing riots most deplore?
How many hurt? How many dead?
How long are we to suffer dread
as he pursues his sick, sick war?
The fish rots from the big orange head
Whose stink continues still to spread
through regions none can now restore.
How many hurt? How many dead?
The fish rots from the big orange head!
