Donald Trump Villanelle

Listen while I sing this song:
Aren't we glad we have the Devil for our President?
We thought we hated Satan, but we were wrong!
Satan boasts about being hung
like a donkey—not reticent,
our President. So I sing this song!
Satan’s main claim to fame is being flung
from Heaven with all his minions. There was a precedent
worth following!—I don’t think I’m wrong...
But Satan has such an appealing come-along,
though always angry-in-the-face—my President—
snarling abuses, while we howl along.
His friends are trying to revoke our get-along,
and life's worth nothing to an immigrant.
His friends think they hate Satan, but they’re wrong.
Mostly, he reminds me of Mao Zedong,
and I’m afraid my blood’s part Mexican!
Listen while I sing this song:
