Fires Buring Birght

I look out my window in Medford Oregon
at the unnaturally dark smoke-filled skies

Seems almost like the end of the world
Out here in the smoke-filled skies 
Of the west 

And realize that that the entire west coast 
Is burning up 

Quote the Donald,. "Give me clean, beautiful and healthy air - not the same old climate change (global warming) ********! I am tired of hearing this nonsense."

I consult the Donald for further wisdom and advice 
and find that this is what he had to say

. "Well, I think the climate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax. A lot of people are making a lot of money. I know much about climate change. I'd be—received environmental awards. And I often joke that this is done for the benefit of China. Obviously, I joke. But this is done for the benefit of China, because China does not do anything to help climate change. They burn everything you could burn; they couldn't care less. They have very—you know, their standards are nothing. But they—in the meantime, they can undercut us on price. So, it's very hard on our business."

Ah it all makes sense
Climate change is a Chinese hoax 
So, they can destroy the US economy

Thanks to our dear great leader’s wisdom
I am relieved

And realize that it will all be alright
If I just follow the wisdom
Of our dear leader
