I Pour Concrete (Boobs on the Calculator)
Executive Insights from the Remedial Math Department
In this installment of Mixtape on the Titanic: When nepotism meets concrete, and both are structural hazards.
WAG TEAM presents a musical exploration of what happens when the family business is destroying democracy but you can't even quote "Gladiator" correctly.
Starring:
One dramatically underqualified Executive VP
Several concrete mixers (smarter than their operator)
A calculator displaying the full extent of his numerical literacy
The only Trump who makes Junior look like a scholar
A hard hat labeled "VEEPEE" (spelling checked three times)
Special appearances by:
Multiple bankers still recovering from their laugh-induced injuries
Financial documents written in crayon
One movie poster defaced with a "THE" (his greatest literary achievement)
The ghost of every teacher who ever gave him a passing grade
Democracy's "How Did We Get Here?" moment
With cameos by:
Eric’s Georgetown fraternity's missing paperwork
Several prosecutors wondering if concrete can be used as a legal defense
The entire concept of corporate governance crying in the corner
One very confused Marcus Aurelius
The YankoBoop
Without further delay. Here ‘tis.
Context
This post was inspired by Andy Borowitz’s hilarious profile of Eric Trump , which detailed the unique intersection of inherited privilege, baffling ignorance, and misplaced cinematic quotes. The piece explored how a man can pour concrete (metaphorically and literally) over democracy while confusing “The Gladiator” for a financial strategy.
Special thanks to Borowitz for reminding us all that, in a family where ignorance is a competitive sport, Eric still manages to medal.
Now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and wherever else hereditary mediocrity gets set in concrete.

I Pour Concrete (Boobs on the Calculator)
Executive VP, that's what they call me Though what that means, I really can't see Emails show up with some numbers inside But I just pour concrete, that's where I reside (Just like Marcus Aurelius in "The Gladiator" said...) I pour concrete, that's what I do Don't ask about finances, I haven't got a clue The bankers are laughing, but I don't know why Must be my charm and my concrete guy alibi! Waterboarding's just like a frat house game (At least that's what I said on Fox News that day) Georgetown memories are kind of a blur But Delta Sigma Pi probably did worse (Or would have if we'd filed that paperwork...) Junior's got his rallies and his megaphone queen While I'm just here wondering what these papers mean Dad keeps saying "Eric who?" when reporters ask But I've got my concrete and that's all I need to grasp The prosecutors showed me emails I wrote About statements and figures and things of note But that's fake news, I only pour concrete! And sometimes confuse movies when I tweet (Was it not "The Gladiator"? Are you sure?) I pour concrete, that's all I know Don't ask about business, just watch it flow The bankers are laughing, must be my charm As I mix up my movies and cause judicial harm
