Cheeto Benito, his purpose now spent,
With scandals, long-known, heaven-sent.
Tax breaks in his wake,
No more purpose to make,
By "Powers That Be" he was rent.

That old Donny, his uses all done,
With dirt everyone knew, bar none.
Tax cuts in the bag,
Now he's just a used rag,
By the Powers That Be, he's outrun.
