Trump Bump

Trump Bump

His real estate is in a slump
And wifey’s proving hard to dump
And everyone he called a chump
Would like to see him on his rump.

This was Calvin Trillin’s contribution for the July 9, 1990, issue.

His real estate is in a slump
And wifey’s proving hard to dump
And everyone he called a chump
Would like to see him on his rump.
The banks march in (galump, galump)
To tell him when and where to jump.
So sympathize with Donald Trump.
Don’t listen for that final thump.
Allow into your throat a lump.
His bubble’s limp. He broke his pump.

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.
