An oligarchic, theocratic, kakistocracy,
Means incompatibility with true democracy.
Trump’s vision of our government requires subservience
To Donald’s borborygmi and resulting flatulence.
That Trump relies upon his gut’s no reason we should too.
It turns his diet into feces, all that it can do.
Trump’s tariffs are examples of reliance on his gut,
For things would be less shitty, were his anus to stay shut.
That Donald Trump’s a thoughtful man cannot be certified
Except by servile flatterers, by whom he’s deified.
Their worship isn’t justified by data, figures, facts,
And yet, their faith’s so strong he drives them to illegal acts. (1)
Now Donald Trump has issued orders to investigate,
All those who dare to criticize, designed to propagate (2)
The fear of retribution all throughout society,
Opinions all must follow his, with no diversity.
And lawyers may not represent those who oppose the Don.
Their law firms are intimidated and become his pawn,
To work for him pro bono; that’s effectively a bribe. (3)
A bitter cup that Donald Trump’s opponents must imbibe.
Can Trump become our emperor, be our anointed one?
Will he become the most important man beneath the sun?
That’s clearly his intention; he is leaving us no doubt.
Can those who love democracy find us a pathway out?
Trump’s autocratic, theocratic, kakistocracy
Warns oligarchs and priests alike against apostasy.
For Donald’s Inquisition will resemble times of old; (4)
He’ll burn you at the stake if you don’t back his drive for gold.
(1) Recall the violent attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
(2) Read about Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor, two former Trump Administration officials who said truthful things that Trump didn’t like.
(3) Several large law firms are making deals with Trump by agreeing to provide as much as $100 million in pro bono work for him, so he won’t attack them anymore. Their genuflection has not earned them the admiration of the public.
(4) The Inquisition conducted by the Roman Catholic Church in the Middle Ages and Renaissance burned “heretics” at the stake. Their definition of “heretic” was elastic.
