Asserting his place in hegemony fights,
Displaying testosterone reaching new heights,
Arresting Maduro and taking his oil,
“The profits are ours,” says Trump, claiming “his” rights.

That Trump is not emperor, makes his blood boil.
It can’t be just Putin creating turmoil.
What Donald could not do, just five years ago, (1)
He just did right now on a foreigner’s soil.

Though losing the vote, Trump, reluctant to go,
Had stirred up a mob as Jack Smith’s case would show. (2)
The Capitol trashed, though they did not prevail,
All for their Lorenzo, Il Magnifico. (3)

But this time, Trump’s forces were too strong to fail.
This time it’s Maduro who’s going to jail.
And we can be sure that Trump won’t pardon him,
But crucify him; Trump will drive the first nail.

Trump’s chance for world leaders’ approval look dim.
But Donald is seeming to disregard them.
Though Bibi approves, all the others do not.
And, among those who don’t, Xi, Putin, and Kim.

For world oil hegemony, Trump took his shot.
Such problems he faces, such tsoris he bought. (4)
The way forward now could have used some more thought.
News analysts say his position is fraught.

(1)His insurrection on January 6, 2021, when the mob he stirred up
attacked Congress, trying to stop certification of Biden’s victory..
(2)When Trump got re-elected, Jack Smith dropped his case, which he
told Congress would have, beyond a reasonable doubt, obtained a
conviction.
(3)As Trump would like to think of himself. Look him up.
(4)Tsoris, Yiddish for all kinds of troubles.
