Trump's Dystopian Anthem (2017)

I am not an admirer of Donald Trump who seems intent on destroying President Obama's entire work, if not democracy in America. I put this together in February 2017 and since then matters have only become worse with frightening speed.
Please be aware that a segment of this item contains language spoken by Donal Trump that some might find offensive.
