    So we’re gonna need to build a Truman show set, with actors (or fucking clones, I dunno) of people in his admin, to literally contain his madness.

    Just… yep Donald, yep, you’re still the President, and everyone loves you, mhm, yep.

    This is certainly morally superior to the reverse, where he is just an insane madman, but… actually in charge of important things.

      take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
      and build them a home
      a little place of their own
      the fletcher memorial home for incurable tyrants and kings

      they could appear to themselves everyday
      on closed-circuit TV
      to make sure they’re still real
      it’s the only connection they feel

      did they expect us to treat them with any respect?
      they can polish their medals, and sharpen their smiles,
      and amuse themselves playing games for awhile.
      boom-boom, bang-bang, lie down, you’re dead.

      safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
      it’s their favorite toy
      they’ll be good girls and boys
      in the fletcher memorial home for colonial wasters of life and limb

      is everyone in?
      are you having a nice time?
      now the final solution can be applied.

        Damn, did you write that?

        That’s quite good as a poem, and you could probably build a kickass array of songs out of it as well.
