President threatens to declare national emergency and build wall without congressional approval: ‘I can do it if I want’
I can do whatever I like,
for, as you know, I’m divine.
I can, if I wish, create Diet Coke
out of a bottle of wine.
I walk on water. I fly through the air.
I can grab pussy — I do not care
what anyone thinks at all.
As Mike Pence in my place would put it,
“By golly, I’m building a wall.”
Do not tell me,
“For pity sake,
people need paychecks.”
“For pity sake,
people need paychecks.”
Let them eat cake.
