Previously I’ve compared Cheetolini (Donald Trump) to Nikita Khrushchev, hoping for a bloodless coup within the US government. Thus far, no such luck. But he’s sounding more and more like a Tin Pot Dictator Tin Foil Hat Dictator like Ceausescu, demanding the public fawn over and praise him on his upcoming 74th birthday.
Trump Campaign’s Plea For Video Messages To Celebrate President’s Birthday Backfires
Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign put out a call on Twitter Thursday for people to film and send in videos wishing the president a happy 74th birthday, which is on June 14.
“We want to make this year President Trump’s BEST BIRTHDAY EVER,” read Trump’s campaign website, which provided a form for people to fill out and upload clips. The campaign promised to show Trump “the first 500 responses TONIGHT.”

my birthday is also June 14 and i invite you to send your selfie videos of you furious and screaming in your SUV to me instead
I doubt we’ll such much of that. Pitchforks and (non-tiki) torches are more likely.
But I’ll be nice and dedicate a song to him: Trooper’s “General Hand Grenade“, recorded in 1975, back when Cheetolini was all of 29 years old (corrected).
Another song for his birthday: The Style Council’s “Walls Come Tumbling Down”:
You don't have to take this crap You don't have to sit back and relax You can actually try changing it I know we've always been taught to rely Upon those in authority But you never know until you try How things just might be If we came together so strongly Are you gonna try to make this work Or spend your days down in the dirt You see things can change Yes and walls can come tumbling down Governments crack and systems fall 'Cause unity is powerful Lights go out, walls come tumbling down Yes they do, yes they do The competition is a color TV We're on still pause with the video machine That keep you slave to the H.P. Until the unity is threatened by Those who have and who have not Those who are with and those who are without And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot Until you don't know where you are Are you gonna get to realize The class war's real and not mythologized And like Jericho, you see walls can come tumbling down Governments crack and systems fall 'Cause unity is powerful Lights go out, walls come tumbling (Down) You'll be to week to fight it (Down) oh unless we're united (Down) oh will you deny it? Are you gonna be threatened by The public enemy No. 10 Those who play the power game They take the profits, you take the blame When they tell you there's no rise in pay Are you gonna try and make this work Or spend your days down in the dirt You see things can change Walls can come tumbling down Governments crack and systems fall 'Cause unity is powerful Lights go out, walls come tumbling down Governments crack and systems fall 'Cause unity is powerful Lights go out, walls come tumbling down

I know you’re Canadian when you reference Troopers ‘General Hand Grenade’
Hadn’t thought of that song for years now I can’t get it out of my head…It came out when? How old am I? 🙁

1975, my good fellow.
1979’s Hot Shots is still one of the biggest selling albums in Canadian history.
