You weren't kidding when you said "Richard Thompson wrote a song about Trump"

I love the last verse:

Fergus Laing he flaunts the law
But one day he'll be wired
And as they drag him off to jail
We'll all shout, "You're fired!"

I'm going to send these lyrics to progressive radio/TV shows like Rachel Maddow, Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz etc,
I'm also going to post them in a Blog at the Thom Hartmann show, as well as on several social network sites that I frequent.
