"Trump! Trump! Trump! He Needs to be Voted Out" - A Variation of "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!"

During the American Civil War (1861-1865), many Songs were published and sung. One of them was "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!" and it went:

In the prison cell I sit, thinking Mother, dear, of you,
And our bright and happy home so far away,
And the tears they fill my eyes 'spite of all that I can do,
Tho' I try to cheer my comrades and be gay.

Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching,
Cheer up comrades they will come,
And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again,
Of the free land in our own beloved home.

In the battle front we stood, when their fiercest charge they made,
And they swept us off a hundred men or more,
But before we reached their lines, they were beaten back dismayed,
And we heard the cry of vict'ry o'er and o'er.

Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching,
Cheer up comrades they will come,
And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again,
Of the free land in our own beloved home.

So within the prison cell we are waiting for the day

That shall come to open wide the iron door.
And the hollow eye grows bright, and the poor heart almost gay,
As we think of seeing home and friends once more.

Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The boys are marching,
Cheer up comrades they will come,
And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again,
Of the free land in our own beloved home.

You may have noticed Tramp is one letter off from Trump. So I rewrote the song into a song to support former Vice President Joe Biden's bid for President against incumbent President Donald Trump. I present Trump! Trump! Trump! He Needs to be Voted Out, sung to the same tune:

At my computer desk I sit, thinking Mother, dear, of you,
And our free and equal society so far away,
And the tears they fill my eyes 'spite of all that I can do,
Tho' I try to cheer my comrades and be gay.

Trump! Trump! Trump! He needs to be voted out,
Cheer up comrades it will come,
And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again,
Of the free land in our own beloved home.

In the election booth we stood, when their fiercest attacks were made,
And they swept us off a hundred men or more,
But before we reached their lines, they were beaten back dismayed,
And we heard the cry of vict'ry o'er and o'er.

Trump! Trump! Trump! He needs to be voted out,
Cheer up comrades it will come,
And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again,
Of the free land in our own beloved home.

So with the ballot box we are waiting for the day
That shall elected Joe Biden, President of our Land
And the hollow eye grows bright, and the poor heart almost gay,
As we once again strive for Liberty and Equality

Trump! Trump! Trump! He needs to be voted out,
Cheer up comrades it will come,
And beneath the starry flag we shall breathe the air again,
Of the free land in our own beloved home.

Since I'm a terrible singer, I am not going to sing it but if anyone want to preform it and publish it online, please send me the link so that others may be able to listen as well. And I will not object to anyone deciding to write a pro-Trump version as well, I just request you publish that version elsewhere online and not underneath this version. However, I will not hold you to that unless it is offensive.

1st 2020 Presidential Debate Response

 The first Presidential debate between President Trump and former Vice President Biden recently concluded. The debate was moderated by Chris Wallace. First off, I caught Trump and Biden exchanging pleasantries right before the debate on stage. But other than that, they were not pleasant with each other. I felt Biden was a bit more cordial, but still very blunt. Also, I felt like Biden held the better position at the end of the debate. In terms of being a debater. However, I felt like Trump made a larger impact on screen due to him being a former reality TV host and knowing how to rally a crowd. I also have to say, I think Hillary Clinton did a better job debating Trump than Biden did. Still I felt Biden held his ground well and preformed better in the debate. He stayed relevant to the topic more often and he did not need to resort to lies to support his arguments. Trump failed to denounce white supremacy and white supremacists groups during the debate and frequently interrupted Bid...

Trump Pays Almost No Taxes

 As you may heave heard, the New York Time has obtained Donald Trump's Federal Tax Returns. And let me just say, Donald Trump has paid less in taxes than the vast majority of Americans. The only people who pay less have to either get more money from the Federal Government than they pay in taxes (likely through welfare services) or do not have a job. In the year of his election and the following year Trump only paid $750 in taxes each year. That is Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars, no thousand, no million, just $750. It is disgraceful that the supposedly richest President pays so little in taxes. He does not contribute to the government the same as all Americans do, he contributes less than people working minimum wage, less than teacher, less that frankly anyone. The NY Times also has revealed that Trump pays more in taxes in other countries from overseas investments and offshore accounts, than he does in the United states. But what is even more troubling is that these revelations have ...
