Jimmy Kimmel is back! Hurray!
He never should have been suspended.
But Trump's attempts to stifle any
Criticism hasn't ended.

Trump seems to get great pleasure
Watching Americans lose their jobs
While HE gives tax breaks to the wealthy
And fraternizes with the nobs.

The man's so terribly insecure
That he is unable to take a joke.
Anyone who voted for him
Really "bought" a pig in a poke.

To silence the voice of anyone
Who's witty enough to make us laugh
At Trump and his ridiculousness--
Along with the craziness of his staff--

Is out of the playbook of dictators.
Trump's idols have all done the same:
Putin, OrbÑn, and Erdoğan
Are all in the autocrats hall of fame.

Since tyrant Trump will NOT allow
Anyone to criticize him
And calls them anti-American,
He just makes more people despise him.

Let's all give three cheers for Jimmy
And not give in to intimidation.
Trump is the one who needs to be muffled;
Kimmel deserves a standing ovation.
