Mr. Trump is a businessman,

He does not like to lose;

Having lost the House he sees

An enemy holding a noose.

 

Mr. Trump is no democrat,

He would rather be a king;

Like Caesar he thinks democrats

Ruin everything.

 

The First Amendment he thinks was meant

Only for him and cronies;

Dissenters who America made

Are unconstitutional loonies.

 

Mr. Trump is most at ease

With no-nonsense dictators;

He thinks the world is best managed

By in-your-face haters.

 

Luckily, there are enough of them

Now both in East and West;

If only guns and trade surplus

Would quell the dissenting pest.
