Song of the Sewer (1955)
By Ed Norton (Art Carney)

The Trumpster is a raving lunatic and the more deranged his rhetoric, the more the Dumbos/Teabaggers clamor for more lunacy. Louder! Nuttier! And The Trumpster delivers. Build a wall and make the Republic of Mexico pay for it. If this is (fair & balanced) national insanity, so be it.

He speaks his mind, but, truth be told, he
