Hey Trump, Don’t Be Dumb with Tariffs
Hey Trump, don’t be dumb with tariffs, Pointin’ fingers, blowin’ smoke don’t fix it.
[Verse 1]
You say you're bringin' factories back,
With a big ol’ stick and a shotgun track,
But you're shootin' wild, you're missin’ the wall,
Hittin’ your friends and watchin’ 'em fall.
[Chorus]
🎶 Hey Trump, don’t be dumb with tariffs,
Pointin’ fingers, blowin’ smoke don’t fix it.
Tariffs ain’t a toy, it’s a tool you use smart —
Not a punchline shout from a Twitter heart. 🎶
[Verse 2]
We get it, man, we want jobs here too,
We want steel, cars, and red-white-blue.
But swingin' at countries like a barroom brawl,
Just raises prices at the shopping mall.
[Chorus]
🎶 Hey Trump, don’t be dumb with tariffs,
Put ‘em on products, not your trade partners.
Smart ones work, the dumb ones sting —
And you can’t build factories on a tantrum swing. 🎶
[Bridge]
There's a reason we got Congress in the mix,
So your wild ideas don't play just for kicks.
If you want jobs to grow and last,
Try learnin’ from history, not just blastin’ the past.
[Verse 3]
It ain’t just you — Dems dropped the ball,
Back in the day they gave it all.
But Biden’s tried to turn the page,
Quiet wins, not center-stage.
[Final Chorus]
🎶 Hey Trump, don’t be dumb with tariffs,
It’s not a stunt show, it’s America’s fabric.
So aim with care, not rage and noise —
Or you’ll trade away the Midwest boys. 🎶
[Outro – Spoken]
“C’mon, man… Put down the blunderbuss and pick up a policy book.”
