Hail to The Chief

#1 Post by FranktheFrank » 08 Apr 2018, 11:23

Crowds move into the stadium
chanting can be heard . . .
growing louder:

We love Trump,
trumpy, trumpy, Trump.
We love Trump,
Trump, Trump, Trump.

They love his Mussolini pout,
his windswept hair that flaps
in the wind. They love
his weaving hands
that move sensuously.
His signing in a language
only Trump devotees
can understand.

They love his redneck vocabulary
his mumbling incoherences.
They love the way he announces
grandiose projects amid
the anguished howls from
his enemies, the anything-goes
handwringing liberals,
the educated, the intelligencia.
They've served their time, they enjoy
the luxury of the best, ignorant
of the working classes, blue sweating
classes, what do they care.

He couldn't care less about
politically correct speak.
Yet, it's touching to see his
belief that he's right. That
pomposity will right his world,
and make him another fifty billion.

He speaks about women
in that old fashioned way,
that macho out of touch way
with the modern sway.
He likes women too much,
he's exhausted himself on them,
speaks disrespectfully
about them, that bad boy.

Bad boy, bad boy, bad boy Trump.

But here is the rub, his degree
is in economics, the distribution
of wealth. He may bring
an underclass, a despised
generation back into work
create wealth, and thereby
distribute wealth.

And out of all the fury
of the masses, the downtrodden,
those who have lost hope,
maybe, just maybe he will
bring in hope that America
will become great again,
become the engine of industry,
and the world will become
a much better place.

Trump, Trump, Trump,
trumpy, trumpy Trump.
We love Trump.
Trump, Trump, Trump.

A giant Trump hoarding announces:

Sixty Three Million Voters Can't be Wrong!!!

his windswept hair that flaps
in the wind.
