Trump said he did nothing wrong. Time to replay a song from 45 years ago about Nothing...

October 1st, 1974 - Impeachment Hearings began for Nixon and that month a hit song was on the airwaves called Nothing from Nothing Leaves Nothing.

"Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
You gotta have something if you wanna be with me
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
You gotta have something if you wanna be with me."

"This lyric is an iteration of a line from Shakespeare’s ‘King Lear.’ King Lear’s daughter, Cordelia, states that she is unable to put her love for her father into words. King Lear responds “Nothing will come of nothing”, meaning that if she cannot flatter her father, she will receive nothing from him. In this instance, the protagonist of the song requires a partner to have ‘something’ before they can commit and provide to a relationship."

Here America is the protagonist telling Trump you got to have something! Trump hugs the flag to show that he loves America, be most know it's hollow.

"I'm not trying to be your hero
Cause that zero is too cold for me
I'm not trying to be your highness
'Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
And I'm not stuffing, believe you me
Don't you remember I told ya
I'm a soldier in the war on poverty
Yeah, yes, I am."

"The “War on Poverty” was the name given to a cluster of programs announced by Lyndon Johnson during his 1964 inaugural speech: Social Security Act 1965, Food Stamp Act of 1964, Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, and Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. The name was inspired by a line from the speech where Johnson suggested “Let this session of Congress be known as […] the session which declared all-out war on human poverty and unemployment in these United States.”

So this week Trump announces 750,000 people will be cut off public food stipends and here comes Winter!

Here we are 45 years later looking at the 45th President of the United States facing impeachment. Mr. President, you're not our Hero, in fact, you're a Zero in your fake Highness, trying to Stuff us with bullshit, but you've shown that you have nothing to offer, we are not flattered, so let our parting commence.
