I'M SO TARIFFLESS I COULD TWEET

 

I'M SO TARIFFLESS I COULD TWEET

A Satirical Parody Song: “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” By Hank Williams, Sr. Based On The Supreme Court Ruling Declaring Trump's Tariffs Unconstitutional. It’s 3:00 AM. The glow of a smartphone illuminates the Oval Office (or a gold-leafed headboard). The "Caps Lock" is on, the "Retruth" button is smoking, and the syntax is purely experimental.

I'M SO TARIFFLESS I COULD TWEET

Hear that lonesome gavel fall

The Court says tariffs die

"Fake news!" I'm tweeting through it all

I'm so tariffless I could tweet


I've never seen a ruling so wrong

Roberts turned, what a deep-state guy

Those three libs and my own Barrett too

I'm so tariffless I could tweet


Did you ever see a president plead

When his emergency powers run dry?

"I'll use another statute, just watch me now"

I'm so tariffless I could tweet


The silence of a falling trade war

Lights up a China-red sky

And as I wonder where my duties are

I'm so tariffless I could tweet


Ten percent across the board I signed
They can't stop me, don't even try
I'll call it "temporary," make 'em pay anyway
But deep down...  I'm so tariffless I could tweet

[Outro – Repeat softly, with a defiant sniffle]

Yeah, the midnight markets are whining low

Refunds? Ha, tell that to the sky

I built the greatest tariffs, they tore 'em down

I'm so tariffless I could tweet


(Spoken, country style)

"I'll pack that Court with twenty more!

Constitutional? We'll see about that, I tell you what..."
