Federal Emergency

Donald Trump can't see debt as a threat
Its immigrants that make him upset
So we must build a wall
That won't stop them at all
And to Hell with the National Debt!

Economics Trump just doesn't get
For Trump, filing bankruptcy's, "No sweat"
Donald's morals are lax
So he'll never pay tax
Chalk it up to the National Debt!*

*Our National Debt was $19.95-trillion when 
Trump took office, but now stands at $22-trillion 
due to Trump and cronies extravagant spending, 
with no thought at all of continuing costs to maintain 
nor repair a monumental Vanity Wall!

$6 trillion when President Obama took office. $ 19 trillion when he left... I’m wondering if perhaps Congress is more to blame... ?

Congress is the USA's Money Laundering House. Aloha! Rico

G'day Rico … this is one of the top news stories in Aus. For why I don't know. We have enough of our own political disasters as well as aftermaths of flood, fire, and drought - thanks Rico - Lindsay

Rico, love the way you stay on top of the news. The debt increase was reported last night on TV. Funny how Obama was criticized by Pres. Trump for his spending. The "Art of the Deal" isn't working. We need a new deal that doesn't build walls. We think alike and this awesome poem goes to my faves! Hugs, Carolyn

We are fortunate Trump does not have an house in Hawai'i, or the National Debt would be another trillion! As for Trump deals, he did succeed in getting China to approve Ivanka's trade marks, but the cost has been devastating to America's small businesses! Aloha! Rico

Mahalo, Maureen, but shouldn't Trump be in the piggy bank? Aloha! Rico
