President Donald Trump has most of the awards money can buy.

But does he have a Grammy like Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama?

Maybe he can get a songwriting nomination after his latest bon mots have been turned into a song.


On Wednesday, President Trump was photographed with handwritten Sharpie notes clutched in his hand during remarks to the press.


But some found Trump's repeated "I want nothing" and "quid pro quo" poetic.

Even lyrical.

Inspired by actor and comedian Patton Oswalt's detection of a Morrissey vibe, at least three Twitter denizens created songs to satisfy Oswalt's muse.

First to share with Oswalt was Appa the Flying Bison (@victoryrhoad) with this little ditty you can listen to here:

Oswalt was in awe.

Next up was RuPaul Giamatti (@BenJamminAsh) with their take you can hear here:

Oswalt again appreciated the effort.

And the last—so far—was from Jose Galvez (@josegalvezmusic) who included how long it took to create and record the version you can listen to here:

Oswalt seemed to underestimate the power of suggestion on Twitter.

Ask—or even suggest—and ye shall receive.

People are on board with the presidential remixes.








So, maybe no songwriting Grammy for Trump. But some definite laughs for the internet.

Now, does anyone know how to get these to Morrissey?

While attending the Palm Springs International Film Festival last Saturday, Cyrus walked the red carpet in a sharp, all-black suit and sleek sunglasses. She paused on the red carpet, holding a few poses for photographers to take their pictures, before she produced the pair of sunglasses.

New 'Stranger Things' Documentary Has Fans Convinced That There's Still Another Episode Coming

Following that epic conclusion of Stranger Things, fans barely had time to mourn character deaths, celebrate long-awaited reunions, and process the (spoiler alert) apparent end of Vecna before the discourse spiraled straight back into Hawkins-level chaos.

The series finale, which dropped on New Year’s Eve, delivered spectacle, sentiment, and something that looked a lot like finality. It also left a sizable portion of the fandom unconvinced that this is truly the end of the Upside Down. For a show built on hidden monsters, secret labs, and things not being what they seem, disbelief may be the most on-theme reaction of all.
