‘One could end up going to prison, one just might be president’: Watch Trump’s Iowa walk-on song [1]
[]
Date: 2023-07-29
This is embarrassing. Donald Trump—the criminally indicted ex-POTUS who’s running for president to Make America Drop the Charges Against This Perv (MADCAP!)—stepped on stage at the Iowa GOP Lincoln Dinner on Friday and was serenaded in an oddly specific way.
This speaks for itself, and if you can’t quite grasp the irony, all I can say is, “Oh, hey, Rep. Gohmert. They miss you in Congress. Wait, don’t eat that. Good God, don’t stick it in your ear either! Sheesh.”
Anyway, enjoy this sweet digestivo. It’s a fitting complement to the sumptuous indictment buffet we all feasted on this past week.

He had to walk out to Brooks & Dunn (like all candidates tonight) instead of his usual Lee Greenwood. pic.twitter.com/Ial80MXp76 — Natalie Allison (@natalie_allison) July 29, 2023

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha!
For context, here are the first three stanzas of the song, “Only in America,” by Brooks & Dunn:
Sun comin’ up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Staring out at the faces in a rear view mirror
Lookin’ at the promise of the Promised Land One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president Only in America
Dreamin’ in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to
We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America [emphasis added]
There’s more here, where you can see that for some reason, Trump delayed his entry until the funniest possible moment.
x Embedded Content
While Trump was a shitty president and is an even worse human being, he’s always excelled at being a joke.
Who knows if this was a deliberate poke in the eye from a dedicated non-Trumper—or if it was just a delightful coincidence? Either way—well done, universe. Well done.
