Ironic Trump

7/26/2019

 
Isn't it ironic? Lyrics inspired by Alanis Morissette and Donald J. Trump. 
Isn’t It Ironic?
An  orange man  entered the White House gate
He took the presidency, and democracy died that day

He’s an orange fly in your Chardonnay
He’s bringing the death penalty back to make America great
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
(For a traitor)

It's like rain on Inaugural Day
It's a free ride except Putin you’ve gotta pay
It's the honest path that you just didn't take
Who would've thought, it figures
​

Mr. Golden Showers wanted to fly
Someone packed his suitcase, and he kissed Ivanka good-bye
He worked his whole damn life for this kind of night
And when the Steele report came, he thought 
“Well, isn’t this nice?”

To pay for Donald Trump's July 4, 2019 celebration of Donald Trump, US taxpayers will have $2.5 million removed from their national parks budget. 

"Dump Trump" Haiku

The United States is holding asylum seekers in concentration camps. 

California: In February 2019 the LA Times reported about the San Diego border facility Otay Mesa. Men who arrived in the US as asylum seekers are reportedly being forced to work for detention center contractors; they are enslaved. Oddly the facility gets glowing reviews during government inspections.  

Texas: In June 2019 about 300 children were at last transferred from the detention center in Clint that held some for weeks without access to soap, toothbrushes and clean clothing. Diapers weren't provided, so little kids soiled their pants day after day. Teen moms didn't have the sanitary conditions they needed for nursing. People aged zero to 17 had to sleep under bright lights on concrete floors with only aluminum blankets. Trump's government lawyer argued that conditions were safe and sanitary. Taxpayers paid $775 per night per person.

These are just two examples. ICE detains refugees in more than a dozen other detention centers, as well as jails, prisons and shelters. **Many of the residents have relatives in the USA who are willing and legally able to house them. Migrant detention is motivated primarily by profit. **

Who profits from immigrant detention? First, did you know that German towns were initially delighted by the economic boon of concentration camps?

And now all sorts of US industries profit... from catering services such as Aramark to phone companies like AT&T.

The San Diego detention center with forced labor is managed by CoreCivic. 

What can you do? A resource to check is the Women's Refugee Commission. Their website suggests donating to a nonprofit, contacting lawmakers and/or becoming a foster parent.

​You might also be inclined to form/join a sit-in at the detention center nearest you!
