Oh, geesh, what did he say this time? ...

From the cited article ...

... Donald Trump promoted the false claim that Barack Obama has earned $40m in "royalties linked to Obamacare" in a post to his 11 million followers on Truth Social on Sunday.

The fictional claim that the former US president receives royalty payments for the use of his name to refer to the Affordable Care Act, which he signed into law in 2010, has been repeatedly debunked since at least 2017, when it was featured on America's Last Line of Defense, a satirical website that produces fake news reports designed to generate engagement from outraged conservatives. ...

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
Selling shoes
Another loser working in a shopping mall
9 to 5
A slave driver telling me "Get on the ball!"

CHORUS
I, I, I wanna be a lifeguard (help, help, help, help)
I, I, I wanna guard your life
...

Good analogy.

An analogy that seems to beg the question ...

You are talking about the same people who watched video of J6 traitors smashing windows, busting doors, assaulting Capitol Police and try to tell the rest of us that they were just there for a tour.

He has also shared out-of-date stories he apparent;y saw on FoxNews about violence in Portland, which he then seem to use as a justification for his ICE-enabled violence provocation in that city.

Maybe there should be a discussion regarding the judgment capabilities of the President of the United States?
