The Oliver Wendell Holmes version of The Star-Spangled Banner WILL NOT be sung at a Trump Rally.

.


Comrade Drumpf can not get past the first verse of The Star-Spangled Banner, let alone the four original stanzas.

That given, we know that Trump will never play Oliver Wendell Holmes's 1861 version, which added a fifth stanza.

I wonder why?

That would make Donnie and a lot of Breitbart readers choke on their mint juleps.

Oh say can you pee
In the hotel's dimmed lights
Russian hookers I paid
By the gallons were weeing

I swear that is what he was mouthing the last time.
