May 13, Donald’s New Toy

Wow! Donald Trump’s getting a brand-new jet,
In gross violation of all sorts of laws.
So, will this put Donald Trump in Qatar’s debt?
“Oh, piffle,” says Donald, to Trumpist applause.

A four hundred million buck present today:
They say it can serve as Trump’s new Air Force One.
And Trumpists, so far, seem to think it’s OK,
“What’s a little more graft, when all’s said and done?”

If the new plane’s the tit, what will be the tat?
What will the Qataris tell Donald they need?
Sometime, maybe soon, they’ll call up for a chat.
And they have assured Donald Trump will accede.

It’s out in the open, an obvious bribe,
Will Donald declare it on his income tax?
Henceforth, is it fair for the news to describe
Donald Trump as corrupt, for that term fits the facts?

While speaking of graft, what about Trump’s meme coins?
Buy them and you may win a dinner with Don.
Meanwhile outraged ethicists gird up their loins,
And Donald Trump sneers, “I’m the king, let’s move on.”

Emoluments, grift, and graft are Donald’s style.
It almost seems like Trump’s White House is for sale.
The gift of the airplane makes Donald Trump smile
At the same time, it’s making ethicists wail.

Will Trump’s tariff gambit just be a bad joke?
Did Trump think the world would take them lying down?
And Donald’s erasing all that he calls, “woke.”
Should someone tell him he’s not wearing a crown?

Rampaging through government and making cuts,
It seems it’s without any reason or rhyme.
But one thing we know, Donald kicks poor folks’ butts,
To give all his rich friends tax breaks one more time.
