We'Ve Been Trumped

Sometimes it can be very painful, Or just plain embarrassing to admit. When an icon fails to reach the pedestal, And their fraud is hard to acquit. The effort involved in this fabrication, Took decades to sharpen and hone. Where the 'PR' folks worked their magic, Creating a genius instead of Al Capone. This 'con' reached upon new levels, With a portrait that extended coast to coast. While a legendary status from industry Followed, Hell, politics would be simple as toast! And while this chapter remains unfinished, A nervous nation awaits the painstaking review. As the truth becomes convincing to judgement, And the illusions disappear without a clue.
