Yes
President Trump.
At long last
You've achieved greatness
Of epic proportions
Unseen by history.
Since humanity took
It's first step
Walking upright
Permanently.
Don't be so bashful
Mister President
About your historical milestone
Hiding in Scotland
For two days.
Your adoring public
Wants to celebrate
In fun filled ways.
Besides
What's a few words
Between bosom buddies
At the G7 and NATO meetings
A few drinks won't cure.
Although
Might want to hide
All sharp pointed objects
From British Prime Minister May
German Chancellor Merkel
And the rest of the EU leadership
At future gatherings.
Just to be
On the safe side.
Don't want
Any diplomatic incidents
Do we.
Sigh.
Some people
Just can't take
Constructive criticism
In any form.
Never mind
Your generous offer
Of free room and board
For those unexpected guests
At your Mexican border
From Central America.
Some overzealous minions
May have gotten carried away
Following orders
In offering hospitality.
We all know
It's hard to find
Properly trained minions
These days.
So raise a glass
In saluting you
President Trump
On your accomplishment.

Ha...A good one...I like the satirical vein...
Whew. Excellent satire. "At long last
You've achieved greatness
Of epic proportions
Unseen by history."
Thank you, Sumana, President Trump is a walking satirist dream for usable material.
Thank you, Susan. Do hope that people don't tar all Americans with Trump’s behaviour.
Ha, I am smiling sardonically...........the man is no shortage of material, for sure. I know that most Americans abhor what is happening in the USA as much as the rest of the world does. May it end soon.
I am not so sure Sherry, as Trump showed his colors before he was elected as the voters fell for his apparent charisma.
