A Once Beloved Icon
I remember only eight years in the past
A once beloved icon shocked a nation
Instantly he became an outcast
disrupting the flow, the Cheeto now hated
A business tycoon with many failures turned successes
Strong, bombastic and not the most polished speaker
Vitriol ensues but he endures the endless stresses
becoming a captivating political leader
To some he was Americas champion, strong on the world stage
To others he was a fascist, ripping away our rights
He was and still is our champion because all we want is change
Others pillage, plunder, burn and loot losing their damn minds
A billionaire that took on the challenge and embraced it
He risks much because he cares, fights for American exceptionalism
Those that revered him now despise him, call him racist
elitists and the news media fill our minds with such cynicism
Shots fired in Butler almost took his life, some believe it was staged
He stands, fists in the air screaming fight, fight, fight
His base of millions became more engaged but enraged
His resolve astonishing heightening his plight
He is now a kin to Hitler as the media turns up the slander
Minds are influenced with distasteful propaganda
No matter if you like him or not, that is never the answer
Yet he fights for what he believes further pushing his agenda
My favorite president, a fighter, a legend, a success
Others see him as a dictator, to our democracy he's a threat
Convictions, fake felonies even then they can't suppress
**I am one of his supporters. If you read this please keep any vile comments to yourself, I'm not the one to attack. We all have our beliefs, you may not like mine and that's fine. Proper discord is healthy for a functioning society and I welcome it.**
