His Excellency Donald Trump
Has once more proved dumb as a stump.
That Frederick Douglass has passed on
Would be surprising news to Don;
It was clear from what he said
He didn't know the man was dead.
A Republican, no Democrat,
Was Old Abe! Imagine that.
Donald Trump expressed the view
This was a fact that no one knew.
Just like no one knew health care
Could be a difficult affair.
The latest magical history tour
He offers will not reassure
Those who worry that his mind
Has some marbles yet to find,
So lost they cannot be recovered.
The latest fact Trump has discovered
Is the anger-filled reaction
Shown by President Andrew Jackson
To the War Between the States.
But there's a problem with the dates:
He died in 1845
And thus could not have been alive,
Except perhaps in that strange realm
Where the madman at the helm
Of our nation seems to dwell,
Perhaps with Douglass there as well,
A shadowy locality:
Trump's alternate reality.
