Key Highlights and Jokes
-
Office arrival description: Trump is introduced like a cartoon character (6‘2, 195 pounds). The lyrics emphasize that people either dislike him or think he’s “hip,” but everyone agrees he “gives a lot of lip.”
-
Money source claims (comedic, insinuated): The song hints at where his wealth came from, framing his rise as arriving “with a mighty sum.”

Clean-living jab + hair insult: He’s described as not smoking or drinking, but the lyrics pivot to an attack on his barber/hair, claiming that “his Barber stinks.”
-
Campaign “muddy and rough” road: The ballad compares the path to the White House to rough terrain, highlighting a “talk tough” attitude with laid cards, gut decisions, and “make America great.”
-
Big debate moment: The song centers on a “day of the big debate,” casting Trump as top of the lineup and receiving applause—contrasted with other figures like Bush and Cruz (referenced as praying).
-
Megan Kelly interview gag: Megan Kelly asks Trump about women he hates; he replies it’s “not true,” while the lyrics twist it into a jab implying he’s targeting others—directly winking at Rosio and especially her.
-
Rising popularity + swagger montage: The lyrics celebrate him going “up in the poles,” suggesting widespread appeal across generations, while also claiming he’ll “raise some hell.”
-
Jet, golf, and “tank” energy: The video comedically depicts Trump having his “own Jet Plane,” golfing all day, and rolling on “like a tank,” with “swagger and juice.”
-
Big mouth / waiting until November: The song ends with a long wait until November, but the narrator confidently says he has a “big big mouth,” closing with playful “Big John / Mr President” chants.
