Randy Rainbow Releases 'He’s De-Mented' Parody as Trump’s Popularity Slumps in 2026

3 articles · Updated · Daily Kos · Jun 30

Randy Rainbow unveiled “He’s De-Mented,” a new parody built on Cole Porter’s “It’s De-Lovely,” targeting Donald Trump in his latest musical satire.
The song frames Trump as unfit and ties the mockery to what the report describes as a collapse in popularity around his “Great American State Fair.”
Using a Great American Songbook standard sharpens the contrast between Rainbow’s playful style and the political attack at the center of the release.
The parody lands as another example of entertainment figures using familiar pop-culture formats to channel criticism of Trump’s standing in 2026.
