Quick
Duck and cover
Everyone.
The Great Defender
Is spouting off
Again.
Just like Old Faithful
In Yellowstone National Park.
He erupts
On Twitter and Fox News
With a predictable schedule
That one can set
Their clocks to.
Never mind
These rants and tirades
Are filled
With questionable truths
And outright lies.
Leaving everyone
Scratching their heads
Did they hear or read right
Afterwards.
Sure
The Great Defender is living
In a world
That has left him behind
More than 50 years ago.
Where the United States was
A white heterosexual protestant Christian nation
At its zenith of global power
In almost all sectors.
Living
In deep denial
By the end
Of his grandchildren’s lifetime
The U.S. will no longer be
A Caucasian led nation.
Or
The United States is
The world economic engine
As other countries and regions
Embrace this leadership mantel.
Forcing us
To ponder this question:
What do we do
With the Great Defender
For the next two to six years?
Beyond removing
All access to Twitter
And Fox News.
Even
The hardest critic
Will admit
This is torture
To an addict
Like the Great Defender.
And we all know
The United States
Doesn't practice torture
On people
In state custody.
Nudge nudge
Wink wink.
Sigh.
Guess
We'll have to hope
The victory isn't
A Pyrrhic one
When the fighting
Is finally over.

"Loose Cannon" indeed. Such an embarrassment, but a frightening one. I am hoping that the next election will bring some sanity to this country and some jail terms for many in office now.
Sadly, Mary, Trump or the next Republican president will pardon them, before they have to serve a long term, like Ford did to Nixon.
