Chronicles of the Pied Piper of Mar-A-Lago

I'm not sure how it all began, When this soothsayer became heroic to some. As he molded a story of greatness, Against what our nation has now become. Those that listened were mesmerized by his fable, As he wove a tale of conspiracy and doubt. Then his minions spread the veil of shadows, To every corner with whispers they could shout. Almost miraculously, this mirage became a leader, Beginning a reign that some wish to forget. But his actions won't be lost to history, Since the aftermath lives on to regret. Early on in his term of division, the Tactics would erode basic trusts once held high. Such that... we are a nation made up almost entirely of Non-natives, yet that must stop, & he'll build a wall with lies. Soon after, attacks were focused on the media, As 'fake news' ran rampant in the press. While the mouthpieces, such as, Hannity and Tucker, Provided his message to the ignorant, more or less. It wasn't long before this infection on credibility, Attacked our very own intelligence community next. Because ol' 45 would disparage the CIA & others, Preferring Kim Jong and Putin's rhetoric and text. Now to be fair, he did accomplish something... A huge tax-cut that the wealthy endorsed. So while the rich got richer, the melody sang loudly, While the poverty of others was reinforced. Throughout this one-term the primary focus, Seemed to be undoing everything his predecessor had done. Now while most of these efforts were negated, The passionate pursuit gave himself, so much fun. The ongoing hatred towards Obama and Hilary, Was a constant theme in the Trump-laden White House. Lending fuel to the fire of partisan politics, while Staff and contemporaries posed quietly as a mouse. The end of this pathetic term was filled with failure, As dual impeachments and the lost election were to blame. Followed by legal matters that consumed a nation, As proud followers were jailed in his name. Yet the MAGA minority spread far & wide to the horizon, Where vocal women shamelessly sought his favor to gain. So between Marjorie, Lauren, and Kari... Their BDE chorus was tuned to deny any pain. While conducting this orchestra of disaster, A nation held hostage, sought truth in the wake. To the point where regardless of convictions or pardons, Our Constitution and democracy, will not be proven fake.
