Does Trump seem crazier each day, with what he says he’ll do? (1)
His cabinet nominations seem to say to all: “Screw you.”
There’ll be mass deportations but have these been well thought out?
From round-up, holding, destinations: there is room to doubt.
The first convicted felon with dementia scrambled speech,
The Donald is the kind of guy who’s sure to overreach.
Yet Trump won the election, this time even got more votes.
Which magnified his craziness; now he really feels his oats.
Will Kash Patel start prosecuting all who criticize? (2)
Will RFK block vaccine funds, though medically unwise? (3)

Though lacking Christian qualities, Trump won support from them.

Inflation took a central place in Donald’s campaign spiel.
H5N1, the bird flu made the price of eggs increase,
Which, blustering as usual, Trump claimed he could decrease.
And then, he won because inflation gave his campaign legs.
How could this happen? Was it all about the price of eggs?
