Air Weighs

Our nation is starting to seethe
Because far too many can't breathe
We should be united
Instead we're incited
Not to smile, but to gnash our teeth!

Many of Trump's strong supporters are now urging him to try to unite the country, but that isn't any part of Trump's plans! Aloha! Rico

I wondered if Trump's trip to Florida wasn't to find jobs for four sacked Minneapolis police officers? Aloha! Rico
