All American Chump

The All American Chump decreed Americans are a different breed Education we just don't need The poor must work to earn their feed Housing simply fosters greed Healthcare cripples slow my lead My budget clearly plans for war Let losers ponder, "either ….or" Everyone loves blood and gore Americans just love it more And I, as leader of the corps, Shall shed more blood than mighty Thor We lead the world in making tanks But funding conflict breaks the banks I, alone, can turn the cranks To make a trembling world give thanks Or fear the worst: "Here come the Yanks" Mothers, historians, fill in the blanks.

Way to go Rico, not too subtle yet very effective American politics now defective (you can keep this 2-liner I've coined the Trump style, lol).
