Watch Trump bungle his way through the lyrics to 'God Bless America'

Donald Trump, the president, either does not know or does not care about the lyrics to "God Bless America."

After rescinding his invitation to host the Philadelphia Eagles at the White House upon learning only a few team members planned to show up, Trump instead hosted an event to "celebrate the flag," as NBC News reported.

At the event, musicians from the U.S. Marine Corps played "God Bless America," my favorite song with the phrase "white with foam" in it. Trump, ever devoted to performative patriotism, sang along, but he missed a couple lines.

OK, he missed a lot of lines, including most of the middle section -- although he did pop back in for a quick "to the prairies" cameo. Love the prairies!

So does this mean the dotard Mr. Drumpf doesn't know the words to "God Bless America?" Dude, I don't know! Maybe he doesn't. Or maybe he is too lazy to sing the words, despite basing an entire event on respecting the American flag. (By the way, not a single Philadelphia Eagles player knelt for the national anthem last season. Also, that particular protest is about police brutality, not about how much anyone respects veterans or the flag.)

Anyway, it doesn't look like either of the teams in the running to win the NBA finals want to visit the White House, either. Maybe our leader will nod along to "You're A Grand Old Flag" like a hexed bobblehead when that doomed event comes around. USA!

In the meantime, please enjoy these updated lyrics to an American classic.
