Mike Lindell seems like a nice guy
Did you see him recently on Jimmie Kimmel Live?
He likes to talk and has a good laugh
Invented MyPillow, made lots of cash
The guy started doing coke in ‘82
Switched to crack in the ‘90s
Addicted for decades
Wrecked his marriage
Bottomed in 2009, and quit drugs
Mike Lindell is a good Christian
He’s discussed God’s hand in at least three life events
- He awoke from a dream inspired to invent MyPillow
- He prayed to God to end his addiction, and awoke a changed man
- He met Donald Trump, who was sent by God to lead America
Oh well, two out of three ain’t bad
But that third one is the drag
Mike met Don in the summer of 2016
In Minnesota during the campaign
They hit it off, Mike was awestruck
He jumped hard onto the Trump train
When Trump won the 2016 election
Lindell basked in the winner’s glow
The MyPillow guy a political player now
Shows how far a crack head can go
Life was good until after the 2020 election
When Mike was no longer having fun
Mike Lindell became a leading light
For those who thought Trump had won
OK, Mike, you’ve had your say
Don’t act so aloof
You say the Chinese hacked the election
But do you have any proof?
Just stand by, Mike said for weeks
My August Cyber Symposium will be a treat
The crooked Chinese will be revealed
And King Donald restored to his lofty seat
So August came, the Cyber Symposium was a flop
There was no proof of any kind
Just Mike Lindell ranting and raving
And QAnon folks, yet again, revising their timeline
Mike still claims God is with him in this quest
I wish that he was kidding
Can’t he see how many lives have been ruined
Doing the Donald’s bidding
I’m not sure where Mike goes from here
I hope he can somehow bounce back
But take it from me, avoid these two things
Donald Trump, and less importantly, crack
President Trump, isolated and watching the clock count down on his time in the White House, spent a few minutes of it on Friday with the C.E.O. of MyPillow, Mike Lindell, who brought some notes with him.
In photographs captured by Jabin Botsford, a photographer for The Washington Post, Mr. Lindell held notes in his hand as he stood outside the doorway to the West Wing lobby mid-afternoon on Friday. The notes included a mention of Sidney Powell, the lawyer and conspiracy theorist whom Mr. Trump at one point wanted to offer a job in the White House.
They were only partially visible, but there was also a suggestion about invoking the Insurrection Act, by which a president can deploy active military troops into the streets, and “martial law if necessary.” One line appeared to suggest moving Kash Patel, currently the Department of Defense chief of staff and a Trump loyalist, as “C.I.A. Acting,” which seemed to indicate the top job.
Mr. Lindell has been one of the few supporters of Mr. Trump from corporate America who has stayed with him after the riot by Trump supporters at the Capitol complex on Jan. 6, which left five people dead and included chants calling for the death of Vice President Mike Pence. Mr. Lindell appeared on Newsmax, the conservative cable network, the day of the riot and pushed the now-debunked claim that “antifa” protesters had masqueraded as Trump backers in order to cause damage.
