My Country, 'Tis of Me - Donald A. Ranard, Humor Times

A poem by Donald A. Ranard

My country, ’tis of me
Sweet land of DJT
Of me I sing
Land where my cronies thrive
Land of neo-Nazi pride
From every mountainside
Let Trumpdom ring!

My country, ’tis of me
Sweet land of DJT
Of me I sing
Land freed of refugees
And commie enemies
Across the whole country
Let Trumpdom ring!

My country, ’tis of me
Sweet land of DJT
Of me I sing
My bestie Vladimir
Will conquer with no fear
Across the hemisphere
Let Trumpdom ring!

My country, tis of me
Sweet land of DJT
Of me I sing
No one else on earth
Can match my bigly worth
Across the universe
Let Trumpdom ring!
