December 4, Outrageous

Trump nominates outrageous folks
Because they are outrageous.
He likes reactions he provokes;
The chaos is contagious.

He hopes his picks exasperate
And set the Senate squirming
At ethics they must desecrate
If they think of confirming.

Trump cares not if they’re qualified;
It’s uproar he’s promoting.
He likes the lefties horrified
By standards he’s eroding.

He does not care if they’re confirmed.
It’s chaos that he’s seeking.
If he hears Rachel Maddow squirmed,
Then it was worth the tweaking.

Trump even likes the list of sins
And all the crimes committed.
He kicks the system in the shins
With names that he’s submitted.

Appointments treated like a joke,
A Trumpist witticism,
Provoking lots of sparks and smoke
Feeds Donald’s narcissism.

Trump’s drive to be omnipotent
Means servile nominations,
Though some will be incompetent,
And some, abominations.

His vetting’s not meticulous,
Say Donald Trump’s accusers.
In Trump’s case, that’s ridiculous;
Trump likes female abusers.

Trump nominating Hegseth, Gaetz,
Despite their female mauling,
Shows Donald likes such reprobates
And likes to be appalling.

And Kash Patel for FBI
Shows how low Trump is sinking.
The claims he makes should terrify
Those capable of thinking.

The Russians just love Donald’s picks,
In fact, they’re celebrating.
With all the dolts in Donald’s mix,
Our strength is dissipating.

Do Donald’s nominees reveal
A Putin-like programming?
The fact that Donald’s picks appeal
To Russkies should be damning.
