Notes About The Poem

If you are a Trump fanatic...please no nasty replies.

Donald Trump

His passion for power weighs heavy
on his heart forging his decisions.
And he attacks sane politicians
leaking “fake news” out to depose him.

The whole world’s waiting for him to fall
yet none question his authority.
For thanks to Russian interference 
he won the electoral college.

Pacified by his gulf courses and
costly toys He maintains his image.
Yet they can't disguise the fact he lives
in an extravagant gilded cage.

His will’s enforced with merciless might
squashing any signs of rebellion.
For he rules with a iron hard fist
unchecked by the glove of compassion.

Trust's a luxury he can't afford
it could cost him the price of office.
And truth is simply nonexistent
in his quiver of indulgent whims.

Time is the ultimate crucible
impeaching his credibility.
And changing him incrementally 
until there’s nothing left but a clown.

He’s the alpha and the omega
war and terror are his to command.
And he is the harbinger of death
don't mistake him for anything less.

You sure summed him up there, I really liked the lines "For he rules with a iron hard fist unchecked by the glove of compassion."
