But what a summer he had just a few years ago, barely bumping Hillary Clinton out of the No. 1 spot, but getting there, playing the big arenas, selling the merch, rocking the house down.

But you slip out of the top spot, and all you're left with is the road and the old fans who want to feel young again, who want to close their eyes and lean into yesterday.

Trump's winning primaries, no trouble at all, out there in the square states, and he's thinking that if he can do one album of new material, he'll be back on top.

But there's no new material. Some guys only have one song to write, and they start by playing bars and bowling alleys, then clubs, and then, when that hit song drops, they play arenas.

But there are no new songs, and they play the clubs again, and the oldies weekends, heading back to the bars and the bowling alleys. Their shows still sell out, but only old fans show up, and hardly anyone wears the T-shirts anymore.

Donald Trump can't win another national election. He barely won the first one, and he better write a hit song fast.

As the years went by, Joe Biden became Tony Bennett. Donald Trump became Ted Nugent.
