Paying His Bills

Trump has a reputation for not paying what he owes.
But now he wants to shower money like a fire hose
And pay his insurrectionists from 2021. (1)
Is this because the president is planning a rerun?

What Donald wants is power like Augustus Caesar had,
Which he won in a civil war; to Donald, that’s not bad.
Augustus’ Uncle Julie, whom the Senate “voted out,” (2)
Makes Trump regard the Senate as a house he’ll do without.

Augustus, Imperator, (we say “emperor” today)
The “ruler of the world” when Jesus Christ had his birthday,
Required a census of his empire, says the Book of Luke, (3)
Is that why Trump wants voter rolls, or is that just a fluke?

We know that Trump regards himself like kings in days gone by,
The greatest of them all, a claim historians don’t buy.
But there are constant problems facing all men of renown.
As Shakespeare said, “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” (4)

For Trump, it’s not the Senate but Iran who wants him dead.
So Donald left a NATO meeting, fatwa on his head.
Trump used a truck for catering to sneak off Air Force One. (5)
He hid behind the tacos, which nobody else has done.

“Uneasy lies the head…” indeed, the Ayatollah died (6)
From bombs that Donald dropped. Iran will not be pacified;
Unstated in their terms for “peace,” is Trump’s head on a pike.
So, they will plan and bide their time, but be assured…they’ll strike.

(1) The rumors of the death of Trump’s slush fund are greatly exaggerated.
(2) Read the minutes of the Roman Senate meeting of March 15, 44 BC.
(3) The Bible, Luke 2:1.
(4) William Shakespeare, Henry IV, part 2, Act 3, Scene 1.
(5) New York Times, August 10. This report was preceded by a lot of official BS
before the facts came out.
(6) We killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a bombing attack on February 28, 2026.
This violates the Iranian sense of fair play.
