To the editor:

In my Feb. 11 letter to the sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½, I rewrote Leonard Cohensa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s iconic song, Everybody Knows (1988), for Trump times.

After Spokane film-maker/composer Don Caron (Parody Project) read the new lyrics, he decided to record it and post online; the song is approaching 11,000 views.

What follows are eight more verses:

Everybody Knows 2.0

Everybody knows he misses Rob Porter

Everybody knows he wants a military parade

Everybody knows about the NRA millions

Donated to his election campaign

Everybody knows Hope told little white lies

666 on Fifth was a good buy

Who does Jared owe?

Everybody knows

Everybody knows David Dennison

Everybody knows he fired Rex by tweet

Everybody knows Boltonsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s a scary war-hawk

Karen said Donnie TicTac was very sweet

Everybody knows his nicknamesa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s Spanky

And can be very cranky

In a TV show

Everybody knows

Everybody knows fake news is the enemy

All trade wars are good and easy to win

Everybody knows the staff who departed

Without a gun he would still have run in

Everybody watching the cansa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™t-miss drama

Hesa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s much tougher on Russia than Obama

Theresa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s highs and lows

Everybody knows

Everybody knows itsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s a total witch hunt

Everybody knows the fixer was in Prague

Everybody knows theresa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s a higher loyalty

Follow the money to find bank and wire fraud

Everybody knows what itsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s all about

Be sure his sin will find him out

Reaps what he sows

Everybody knows

Everybody knows itsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s mission accomplished

Everybody knows Hannitysa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s a client of Cohen

Everybody knows Cheeto is morally unfit

Everybody knows which way the wind is blowinsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™

Everybody knows about alternative facts

Whosa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s next to get the axe?

Better tiptoe

Everybody knows

Everybody knows Zinkesa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s not a geologist

Everybody knows Pruittsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s an oil and gas shill

Everybody knows the meaning of ecologist

Steve and Louise pose with dollar bills

Everybody knows the Cone of Silence

Who cares about the science?

The best come and go

Everybody knows

Everybody knows about his cell phone

Everybody knows about nights in Moscow

Everybody knows his bromance with Macron

Everybody knows to Russians he kowtows

Everybody knows the forecast is grim

Very honourable is Kim

Two summit bros

Everybody knows

Everybody knows he gets along with Kanye

Everybody knows he doesnsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™t vet staff

Everybody knows Juniorsa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½™s blocked caller

Everybody knows John Barron rarely laughs

Everybody knows the informant Natalia

A beautiful card and flowers for Melania

No presents though

Everybody knows
