âThe feds came in and they found my top secret docs on the bathroom floor. On top of those now they get me indicted for dabbling in an electoral fraud. I had tried to keep them back from what they were about to see. How can I get away with it when they donât take hush money.â Goes a line in the song renditioned by a man resembling Trump.
The man resembling Putin then comes in to salvage the situation with an idea that denial is the way to go.
âWhy did you give them bombaclarts access to your villa? Listen to a pro because you act like a beginner. To be a post modern truth spinner. Lets review the situation that you are caught up in.
âTo be a dictator youâve got to know how to dictate. If they say a night convince them itâs a day. Never admit to a word that they say. And if they say itâs you tell them âbaby no wayâ.
