First off, I'd like to reiterate that this song is not about Trump. I've already explained what inspired it.

But I find this statement from Sunset highly amusing:
“The inflation that was going to be there anyway because the economy has been mismanaged for so many years…”
Let's look at the timeline. Trump was president for almost 6 of the past 10 years. So if we're talking about years of economic mismanagement, it seems reasonable to examine his administration's record, rather than automatically blaming the previous administration.

Yet somehow, Sunset's argument manages to acknowledge that Trump is taking a political hit while shifting the blame for the underlying economic problems elsewhere. That sounds awfully familiar. Blame the previous administration, take credit for the good, and dodge responsibility for the bad.

Wake up, America.

Sunset also wrote: “AOC and Bernie may be running OUR House and Senate soon.”
Well, maybe then Congress will start doing its job again.

During Trump's second term, we've seen a strong concentration of decision-making power in the White House, including major decisions about the war with Iran. Congress has constitutional powers of its own, including the power to declare war and control federal spending. Yet when the president takes major military action, Congress often struggles to exercise meaningful control.

So perhaps having a different majority in Congress wouldn't be such a bad thing. Maybe Congress would start acting as an independent branch of government again, rather than letting the White House dominate the agenda. And if AOC and Bernie help make that happen, why should that be something to fear?

Just a thought.
