So I was re-watching The Marx Brothers’ _Duck Soup_, and I could’t help but compare the president elect with Rufus T. Firefly. I think instead of Hail To The Chief, they need to play Freedonia when Trump comes on stage, and we can all sing:

Well that covers a lot of ground. Say, you cover a lot of ground yourself. You better beat it, I hear they’re gonna tear you down and put up an office building where you’re standing. You can leave in a taxi. If you can’t get a taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that’s too soon you can leave in a minute and a huff.
