In the piece titled “Little Green Worm: A Note to the President” shared with Rolling Stone, the folk icon slams the politician’s lack of “empathy,” “impulse control” and “basic intelligence,” positing that Trump has none of the above due to a “little green worm” entering his brain and eating it all up. It comes amid the ongoing “No Kings” rallies protesting the twice-impeached POTUS’ policies.
“I’ve been thinking about a little green worm that has worked its way into your anterior insular cortex, the part of the brain where empathy originates,” Baez wrote. “The little green worm quickly devoured yours. He then munched onward until he came to the prefrontal cortex, which is involved in impulse control and regulating social behavior.”
“It’s meant to stop us from blurting out vulgarities such as ‘Grab her by the p—y’ and ‘S–thole countries’ or accusing all Mexican immigrants of being criminals, rapists and drug dealers,” the poem continued.
The piece closes with Baez illustrating how the little green worm eventually moves on to the part of Trump’s brain that should be “responsible for thought,” only to find that he doesn’t have one. “Oh s–t: there’s nothing there,” the musician concludes.

Found out about this tonight via an article in the UK paper The Independent, which asked White House Communications Director Steven Cheung for comment. He's shown before that he's apparently brain-worm eaten himself, since all he could come up with was, "Who is Joan Baez?"
