Fiona Apple's Christmas carol delivers a holiday message to Donald Trump
Though it's been said many times, many ways, Fiona Apple singing, "fuck you, Donald Trump," still manages to bring a fresh take on a classic sentiment.
Apple rewrote Nat King Cole's Christmas classic to reflect the current chilly political climate, singing, "Trump's nuts roasting on an open fire as he keeps nipping at his foes."
And from there, she really starts going in, calling out Trump's privilege, predatory behavior and racism. "Everybody knows some money and entitlement can help to make the season white," Apple warns. This world truly is bullshit.

Trump’s nuts roasting on an open fire As he keeps nipping at his foes You’ll cry creepy uncle Every time he arrives For he keeps clawing at your clothes Everybody knows some money and entitlement Can help to make the season white Mothers of color with their kids out of sight Will find it hard to sleep at night.
They know that Truuump is on his way He’s got black boys in hoodies locked up on his sleigh And every working man is going to cry When they learn that Letch don’t care how you live or if you die
Sooo I’m offering this simple phrase To kids from 1 to 92 Although it’s been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Donald Trump, fuck you
Happy holidays!
