To the editor:
In my Feb. 11, letter to the Capital News, I rewrote Leonard Cohen香蕉视频直播檚 iconic song, Everybody Knows, for Trump times. I added more verses in my May 26, 2018 letter.

To date, I香蕉视频直播檝e written more than 80 verses, but what follows are the latest ten.
The first two verses refer to far-right American political pundits Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, and Sean Hannity, who seem to wield so much power that they are, in effect, Trump香蕉视频直播檚 co-presidents.

Everybody knows he香蕉视频直播檚 enjoying the ride
Everybody knows the interpreter香蕉视频直播檚 notes
Were taken because he has nothing to hide

With everybody but him because he香蕉视频直播檚 tops
Once proud to own
Everybody knows

Everybody knows he香蕉视频直播檚 a hostage to his base
Everybody knows the clear and present danger
Can continuously lie with a straight face
Everybody knows he香蕉视频直播檚 President Petty

Everybody knows
Everybody knows the state of the disunion
Everybody knows more reasons to impeach
Everybody knows his nickname for Nancy
He conducts foreign policy through tweet
Everybody knows his shutdown is a mess
Air traffic controllers are under more stress
Safety concerns grow
Everybody knows
