And here's a war song that's just as fake as Trump's claims that Portland is under siege (from anything other than Trump himself!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf89...

#songoftheweek - this 'vintage war song' is just as phony as the excuses Trump's administration is using to invade a peaceful American city. Fortunately it's also one with a great sense of humor and wonderful citizens! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf89...

Trump is both terrifying and hilariously incompetent. I tried to address that mix with sophomoric humor, silly nicknames, and doowop harmony! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H3I... #songoftheweek #politicalcomedy #trumpdictator
