Predicted problems have arisen with Trump at the wheel.
It seems much harder than he said for him to make a deal.
Complexity is not Trump’s long suit; by now, that is clear.
So, when the road is rough and winding, should we have him steer?
His buddy, Vladimir, won’t stop his bombing of Ukraine.
The tariffs that Trump’s threatening put world trade under strain,
While here at home, ICE agents grab our students off the street
And research universities feel Donald’s hostile heat.
He disrespects intelligence that contradicts his gut.
He saves his concentration just for lining up a putt.
He doesn’t like to read and study data he’s been shown.
He lets his borborygmi dictate edicts from the throne. (1)
There is another problem when it’s only sycophants
Who may advise the president. Just Donald wears the pants.
Intelligence, experience, and subject expertise
Don’t matter, so incompetence is certain to increase.
The problem for dictators is no one may disagree;
There’s no one to restrain them from an ill-considered spree.
When truth and facts don’t matter, then mistakes will multiply,
Especially when loyalists must propagate a lie.
Since most of Hitler’s generals were picked for loyalty,
Smart strategies and tactics may have been a casualty. (2)
And Putin’s problems are the same in his war with Ukraine.
He’s spent a million casualties for just a modest gain. (3)
Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, three of a kind,
Incompetents like these have put our country in a bind.
If we went down the whole list, the results would be the same.
They’re willing Trump ass-kissers, though his trousers are aflame.
Democracy is teetering, prognosis serious,
A horse loosed in a hospital, the outcome, dubious. (4)
Trump’s dropping bombs in hopes he’ll win the Nobel Prize for peace.
While here at home, he’s seeking more investors he can fleece. (5)
(1) Look it up.
(2) Field Marshall Wilhelm Keitel may be the best example.
(3) Estimates vary but this number is used by many sources.
(4) Thanks to John Mulaney
(5) Meme coins, Crypto “investments,” etc.
