Joan Baez, in her new poem published through Rolling Stone on October 23, said that "a little green worm" has eaten U.S. President Donald Trump's brain. The poem, titled Little Green Worm, questions Trump’s lack of "empathy," "impulse control," and "basic intelligence" amid the ongoing No Kings rallies."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. The little green worm has quickly devoured yours. He then munched onward until he came to the prefrontal cortex, which is involved in impulse control and regulating social behavior."The poem continued,"It's meant to stop us from blurting out vulgarities such as "Grab her by the p***y" and "S**thold countries" or accusing all Mexican immigrants of being criminals, rapists and drug dealers."Boez's poem concluded with the worm reaching the part of the President's brain responsible for basic intelligence and exclaiming, "oh s***": there's nothing there."How did White House respond to Joan Baez's poem?White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, while responding to Joan Baez's poem in an email to The Independent, said:"Who is Joan Baez?"Joan Baez is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and activist known for her work campaigning for protest and social justice.

The No Kings rallies, also known as the No Dictators or No Tyrants protests, are a series of demonstrations that began in June 2025. They were organized in response to what organizers describe as Trump's allegedly anti-democratic policies.The protests were largely organized by liberal organizations within the country, including the 50501 Movement, Indivisible, and MoveOn. They were also supported by nonpartisan groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).The second protest, which re-emerged on October 18, was discernibly larger than the first. Trump, while responding to the protest, said, "I hear very few people are going to be there, by the way."In the October rallies, people dressed up in inflatable frog and chicken costumes.
