Nah, the last two lines (and the first line!) are so clearly from the first half of the chorus that it doesn’t matter how you adapt that second line. It scans, adjourned.

yeah but would you actually pronounce "speech by the POTUS" the same way you would "double decker bus" ... I don't think so ... you wouldn't accentuate "the" here ... y'all are being lazy

otoh -- "speech by Donald Trump" actually does scan with "double decker bus" ... and considering another chorus has "ten tonne truck" still rhyming with "us" -- it's like, why use "the POTUS" here in this lyric ??? sorry, the only person I would defer to on this is roxymuzak.
