8 February—During his interminable performance at the Capitol theater Tuesday night, Donald Trump was so wired by Diet Coke that he broke forth with his favorite song, “When I Rule the World,” an underground hit from 2015 by Sophie Xeon, Cecilia Efraimsson, and Marcus Andersson. Two of his senior flunkies show their appreciation in the photo. The lyrics, condensed under the photo, give one second thoughts about Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

When I rule the world, then I’m gonna make you sweat,
Dog collar ’round your neck, on your knees and scrub the deck.
Oh, there’s a spot over there so I’ll drag you by the hair.
So scrub it, rub it, whip it, dry it, ’til I tell you to stop.

When I’m on the throne, it’s a total freak zone.
You can call me mommy and I’ll throw a dog a bone.
Better bite on that bone, or you’re never going home.
So bite it, break it, hit it, lick it, ’til I tell you to stop

When I rule the world, then you’re the little girl.
You should do as I say ’cause things are gonna be my way.
I rule the world, so get down on your knees.
Better do as I please, until I tell you to stop.

When I rule the world, then I’m gonna make you work.
Brring brring! Stay alert, keep on pushing ’til it hurts.
So now look who’s sorry, now they’re answering to me.
So, scrub it, rub it, whip it, dry it, ’til I tell you to stop.

When I wear the crown all the people bow down.
I can be your daddy and you’re gonna make me proud.
If you don’t, you’ll be bound and thrown in the dog pound.
So, bite it, break it, hit it, lick it, ’til I tell you to stop.

When I rule the world, then you’re the little girl.
You should do as I say ’cause things are gonna be my way.
I rule the world, so get down on your knees.
Better do as I please, until I tell you to stop.

When I rule the world, then you’re the little girl.
You should do as I say ’cause things are gonna be my way.
When I rule the world, so get down on your knees.
Better do as I please, until I tell you to stop.

When I rule the world, so things are gonna be my way,
’Til I tell you to, ’til I tell you to, ’til I tell you to stop.
