WHAT TRUMP HAS DONE FOR THE NATION

He has made it plain

how fragile its republic

has come to be,

Trump, an insurrectionist,

narcissist, demigogue,

for millions of Americans,

a cult of personality

has unfolded around him,

a rich kid without principles,

mean, vengeful, cruel,

contemptuous,

he says his fans are scum

in private, finds it amusing

that he’s conned them

so completely, the rubes

sent him hundreds of millions

to stop the steal,

an outright lie, stop the steal,

those kinds of fools

look to bring down

a republic and replace it with

him in November,

it looks more and more

ominous, what Trump will do

with the nation,

install the dictatorship

his faithful look forward to.
