Trump recently hired Anthony Scaramucci to work in the White House. Of course, his name reminds us of the famous character in Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody who could do the Fandango.
What other songs are there about political figures? I can think of a few:
Harry Truman. Chicago
God Save the Queen. Sex Pistols
Her Majesty. The Beatles
Let's impeach the president. Neil Young
Stand Down Margaret. the English Beat
Lady Jane. The Rolling Stones
President Gas. Psychedelic Furs
And of course,
What's the Furor about the Fuhrer? Rough Trade

Margaret Thatcher was obviously a great inspiration for artists:
Shipbuilding - Robert Wyatt, Elvis Costello
+ that song of Morrissey ending his first album, with that lovely and quiet music contrasting the disturbing lyrics
Pretty much any song from the musical Assassins _________________ Nothing really matters, anyone can see, nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me.

and the Specials' appropriation of Maggie's Farm can be added to the list of songs "inspired" by Thatcher. Bad politicians can inspire good music at least.
