Scum Rises To the Top

I am slimy scum
I'm a rotten bum
I rule America
Sucking on my thumb.

I am rather dumb
I make people numb
I'll turn America
Into endless slum. 

If I'm feeling glum
Unhappy I become
I praise the Ku Klux Klan
Then I get giddy some.

Beat my kettledrum
Rat-a-tat-tum-tum
Shriek racist epithets
Ad-infitum.

My ultimatum
Needs uranium
Blowing up the world and grin
Ain't it worrisome. I win!
