Trump’s Diesel Deal

Trump just announced a deal; he said the USA will buy
A lot of Russian diesel oil, increasing our supply. (1)
So, Putin gets more money to support war with Ukraine,
A war causing Zelensky and Ukrainians more pain.

Zelensky said he needs details of Trump and Putin’s “deal.”
As usual, we must question if what Donald said was real.
He thinks that such a deal will make our diesel prices fall,
(Which might help MAGA candidates for offices this fall.)

Trump’s punishing Zelensky for the 2020 race.
He wouldn’t help with Donald’s scam, now he must learn his place. (2)
He won’t make deals with Russia, bow to Putin, say he won.
“Ukraine needs a new president,” Trump doesn’t like this one. (3)

Trump does not give a damn about Ukraine’s right to exist.
Concerns about its land or peoples’ rights are all dismissed.
He simply wants to make a “deal” to say he stopped a war.
And have the world acknowledge that he ended blood and gore.

Trump started his war with Iran, which made oil prices rise.
Trump blames Zelensky for attacking Russian oil supplies. (4)
The EU and G7 cap the price for Russian oil (5)
But Trump’s financing will help Putin keep war at full boil.

First, Putin tried to seize Ukraine, then Donald bombed Iran.
Both started wars they’re losing; and both lack an exit plan.
Now Trump is getting desperate; payback is overdue.
“Ukraine needs a new president?” Or possibly, we do.
