It wasn't me
The Putin lookalike advices that the way to go is to “Say it wasnt you” with the Trump lookalike remarking that that is “Beautiful”.
The song proceeds with the man resembling Trump telling his friend his mistakes that aligns with the scandals that dogged former US President Donald Trump’s life during his tenure, before and after.
“The feds came in and they found my top secret docs on the bathroom floor. On top of those now they get me indicted for dabbling in an electoral fraud. I had tried to keep them back from what they were about to see. How can I get away with it when they don’t take hush money.” Goes a line in the song renditioned by a man resembling Trump.
The man resembling Putin then comes in to salvage the situation with an idea that denial is the way to go.
“Why did you give them bombaclarts access to your villa? Listen to a pro because you act like a beginner. To be a post modern truth spinner. Lets review the situation that you are caught up in.
“To be a dictator you’ve got to know how to dictate. If they say a night convince them it’s a day. Never admit to a word that they say. And if they say it’s you tell them “baby no way”.
