Donald Trump and the Media

They watch him like a Broad-wing Hawk
In all his comes and goes
He invades their every thought 
Bugs them to the bone

He delights in the slip and slide
Like a greased pig in their grasp
Thinking they've got him this time
But they had best not think so fast

They scandalize the scandals 
Beat their chests and drums
Walking on a thin line
Hoping to nip him in the bud

He has them on a short leash
They bark at his command 
All big dogs is what they think
Tails wagging on the right and left

Every now and then he tosses them
One or two Chicken Little bones
Where they run and scream the sky is falling
It's not like we were not warned

As he sits behind his desk
Plotting his next move
Donald Trump and the Media
....ain't that the truth

I think y'all are all missing the point of the poem.

t-rump is a stumbling bumbling ass... he doesn't know how to properly talk to people...in the very least, d-rump needs a speech writer and a counselor ...his demonstrated iq pretty basic and in his job that means he's apprentice to some 'private' (perhaps) power structure

Perhaps but he is playing the media for all they're worth
