Gilbert & Sullivan on Trump (The Modern Major General)

Found on Facebook, by Herrick Goldman via Twitter:

I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius.
I have a mighty button and no problems with my penius.
I have no time for television, golf, or social media
Since my brain is way way better than the best encyclopedia.

I like to tweet the lies of racist grievances historical
When Russian ties are mentioned I deny them categorical
I do not feel the sting of words because I am avenious
I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius!

I have the words, the only words, no one has better words than me
If I'm unsure, I check Fox News, it's propaganda's comforting
When I am caught plan in a lie, I pass the buck entirely
Think I am wrong? Well, covfefe, and look at Crooked Hillary

Compared to other leaders, my behavior’s quite unusual
My twisted tweets and pissed-on sheets have managed to amuse you all
I have to drink two-handed ‘cause my fingers are the teeniest
I need a sippy-cup with the inscription “Stable Genius.”

I am the very model of a man who is, like, very smart.....
Many people see my brain and say it's like a work of art.....
My daddy, he did nuclear; he truly knew things myriad.....
And when I type ellipsis I use far too many periods.....

I am the very model of a stable genius president
Improvident, incompetent, and wildly overconfident
I'm getting rich destroying the American experiment
Beholden like a puppet to a hostile foreign government

I throw the finest tantrums; I'm repetitive and furious
When CNN airs anything too screwy to be spurious,
My crooked doctor tells me I'm a paragon of sanity,
And if you don't believe him, you can always ask @SeanHannity...

The scholars and historians will wrack their brains to fathom all
The ways to fact and knowledge I'm offensive and anathemal;
Believe me, I will lead you to a "new age of prosperity"—
And leave no page unburnt to be disproven by posterity...

My speeches are the best: I am the best at slurred meandering
Between extremes of bullying and sychophantic pandering:
If you're not counting Nero and forget who Mussolini is,
I never had an equal as a bigly #stablegenius!

I’m very good at building walls and keeping out the Mexicans
We don’t want hordes of chilli-eating, poncho-wearing denizens
In short in matters international, nuclear and penius
I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius.

I can’t believe I’m President; I only sought publicity
Now people think I’m Putin’s stooge, accuse me of complicity
My family’s a laughing stock of ridicule and pillory
I bet this whole disaster was set up by Crooked Hillary

Though some may claim I dabble in cerebral mediocrity,
I speak to all the rabble of my burgeoning democracy,
And rebrand all the planets in my name let's start with Venius
For I am the very model of a modern stable genius.

I tried dictionary.com, and it wasn't in there.

Trump is certainly without many synapses in the moosh that is inside his skull.
