Trump’s war in Iran is over and won, and now we’ve got it made,
But the Strait of Hormuz is still closed, and that’s affecting trade.

For 16 years he was the country’s hard-right strongman.
But democracy’s a stubborn bitch,
And voters wanted a liberal switch,
And that’s how Hungary’s Viktor Orban got shit-canned.
