Inner thoughts of a wanna be dictator

Within a minute I knew
he is really good
His enemies die
the way that they should

He is special and smart
just like me!
Will he tell me his secrets?
will he let me see?

I want what he has
public displays of affection
Those military parades
give me an erection

Can I do it too?
forced labor works
When I make myself king
it will be one of the perks

No more witch hunts
or stupid free press
That erection is growing
I must confess

We are raping this country
me and Scott Pruitt
When you’re criminal-in-chief
they just let you do it
