Iran Snafu, July 13


The Hormuz Strait is open? Closed? Depends on whom you ask.
And Trump’s proposed a brand new grift that’s easy to unmask.
He says we’ll be the “guardians,” who’ll take ships through the Strait.
Of course, there’ll be a “service fee” that Trump will confiscate.

Iran has closed the Hormuz Strait, which Trump was warned about.
And since then, shipping has been blocked from sailing in or out.
This is a mess that Donald caused when he began to bomb.
And now he is proposing the whole world should grease his palm.

So, Trump has made a dumb mistake he hopes to monetize.
A cargo toll, twenty percent, which he will authorize.
Could this be punishment for those who did not join our side?
Though Trump did not inform them first, he now fires this broadside.

Trump’s bungled foreign policy raised prices everywhere.
The war he started with Iran made Russia glad we’re there.
Their prices for exported oil will rise like all the rest,
As Vladimir’s best agent, Donald Trump has passed the test.

When Donald ran his businesses, his frequent bankruptcies…
Should have alerted everybody, even chimpanzees,
When Donald Trump’s in charge, most things will likely go to hell,
For nothing Donald touches ever seems to turn out well.

But, Trump has one success…he has increased his bank account.
He made two billion bucks last year, a dizzying amount.
So far, he’s paid no income tax. Who runs the IRS?
Is this the kind of grift and graft his MAGA troops will bless?

Domestic, foreign policy, the secrets that have leaked,
The sleaze of Jeffrey Epstein’s files, the nipples Donald tweaked,
It was all there for us to see; yet we elected him.
It’s sad to say the fault is ours; we can’t go blaming “them.”

July 14, Newsflash
Trump just announced he’s dropping tolls and dropping bombs instead.
The MOU and peace talks are effectively both dead.
So, our gas prices shoot back up and nothing is resolved.
As long as Donald stays in charge, no problems will be solved.
