For two decades, Fiona Apple has proved herself immune to the tides of influence that sway many other artists of her stature. Pressure from her label, a pleading army of fans, the imperative to remain “relevant”—none of these earthbound concerns have roused Apple from her state of prolonged hibernation.

The one exception, it seems, is the President-elect. Last month, at a Standing Rock benefit concert, Apple performed a scathing, anti-Trump rendition of “The Christmas Song,” swapping out its classic, cozy lyrics for more timely ones. “Trump’s nuts roasting on an open fire,” she began, and went on to narrate America’s current conundrum as a kind of Christmas nightmare: “Everybody knows that money and entitlement / Can help to make the season white. / And every working man is gonna cry, / when they learn that lech don’t care how you live or if you die.”

This week, in honor of the Women’s March on Washington, Apple has returned with another anti-Trump song, “Tiny Hands.” The one-line chant is set in a programmed loop over a sampling of the President-elect’s voice from the leaked “Access Hollywood” tape in which he boasted about groping women. “We don’t want your tiny hands anywhere near our underpants,” she sings over a drum-line beat, pairing the vulgarity of Trump’s “grab ’em by the pussy” with the prudishness of the term “underpants,” as if to echo in her rhyme the childishness of its target. Unlike Trump, who wields his words like a bludgeon, Apple is hushed, calm, resolute. But her words, like his, are blunt, infectious—designed to be shouted by torrents of marching women.

It seems that Apple, the patron saint of the wounded, has finally met a bully big enough to pull her into the churn of the news cycle and keep her there. A Presidential term is four years—still shorter than the average amount of time between Fiona Apple albums.
