Now, in a Putnam-less world where Donald Trump is an actual candidate for president, comes Anal Trump! The band, fronted by Cattle Decapitation's Travis Ryan, with all music by Ryan Crow, sports hits such as "I Like The Soldiers Who DON'T Get Captured," "Blood Coming Out Of Her Whatever," and "Make America Great Again."
