A President Who Listens To a Higher Authority

He can’t remember one mistake.
He’ll stay on course till Hades freezes.
How can he be so certain still?
Because he’s got the word from Jesus.

He can’t remember one mistake.
He’ll stay on course till Hades freezes.
How can he be so certain still?
Because he’s got the word from Jesus.

In meetings of his White House staff,
Unquestioning commitment pleases,
Since human doubts mean nothing to
A man who’s got the word from Jesus.

He treats his critics in the press
As if they’re yapping Pekingeses.
Reporters deal in mundane facts;
This man has got the word from Jesus.

He can’t believe that you’d support
The sort of man who eats French cheeses,
When you can vote to keep in place
A man who’s got the word from Jesus.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
