Trump's motto: Always Be Grifting
Make America Grift Always
Trump and his cronies want to privatize the world. That’s the end goal. Gut all government agencies and sell them off to Elon or some private equity firm. If you want to live in the future they’re building it’s gonna be pay to play. You want healthcare, pay for it. You want education, pay for it. You want oxygen, pay for it!
….and 76 million people voted for it. 76 million people have fucked over 260 million people all cause they drank the orange kool-aid.
From ChatGPT; I know it is lazy!
Here’s a parody of "White and Nerdy" called "Shady and Shifty", written to the tune of Weird Al's classic: "Shady and Shifty"
(To the tune of “White and Nerdy”)
(Intro)
They see me lyin’
My schemes are thriving
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Look at me so shady and shifty
(Verse 1)
First-class cons, yeah, that’s my mission
Got a fake ID and a forged prescription
Emails phishing, crypto missing
“Too good to be true” is my ammunition
I’m a smooth talker, spin a great tale
Sell you beachfront property up for sale
NFTs, pyramid schemes
Get rich quick, yeah, that’s the dream
I scammed your grandma, took her savings
Promises golden, but I’m just faking
Drop a fake link, then I’ll ghost ya
Too slick, I’m like a grifting virtuosa
Deceiving’s an art, and I’m Picasso
Write a fake check with a lotta zeroes
Skim the top like I’m making cream
Run my hustle, living the dream
(Chorus)
They see me lyin’
My schemes are thriving
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Look at me so shady and shifty
(Verse 2)
Social engineering, it’s all a game
Switch the card, redirect the blame
Wire fraud? Yeah, I’m the best
Fake charity with a suit and vest
Hiding in plain sight, charming and clever
Take what’s yours and make it mine forever
Ponzi pro, I stack the dough
Vanished offshore before you know
I sell snake oil like it’s pure gold
Convince you quick, no time to fold
Stock tips, insider flips
I’m cashing out, you're sinking ships
My scams go viral, my lies are fire
Got you clicking links like an eager buyer
From fake raffle prizes to bonus gifts
I’m the king of con, my grift’s legit
(Chorus)
They see me lyin’
My schemes are thriving
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Look at me so shady and shifty
(Bridge)
I know I’m shady, the law don’t faze me
I’ll find new marks if the game gets hazy
Dodging subpoenas, escaping fines
Makin’ my fortune while spinning lies
No morals here, it’s all survival
I’m on the move like I’m going viral
From cons to scams, it’s my domain
Shifty forever, just call me insane
(Outro)
They see me lyin’
My schemes are thriving
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Look at me so shady and shifty
