Susan Gentry Poet Political Verse

Notes About The Poem

Give Trump a Chance

They follow Trump's tweets with disdain
Ridicule, lie and constantly blame
Marchers deny Trump as President
Arm-guarded stars arrogantly vent
To millions of 'racist' 'deplorable' citizens
Who did the unthinkable - not vote for Clinton

People of faith, grassroot Americans
Law-abiding gun owners, republicans
Everyone and all who had had enough
Illegal immigration, above-the-law stuff
Educated workers from all occupations
Draining the swamp of career politicians

Approval rating beats Obama's first year
Lowest unemployment - did you not hear?
Foreign policy and immigration 
Tax reform, health care and deregulation
Largest agenda passed in modern history
Totally ignored by MSM hypocrisy

Is it too much to give Trump a chance?
Stop negativity to see if perchance
There might be common ground to be had
Maybe, just maybe it's not all that bad
Yes, many problems still need attention
At least use facts instead of misinformation

Greg Gaul June 14, 2018 at 3:33 PM Susan, the ink was flying and my ears were burnin'. You've really penned a very tight rebuttal to the limousine liberals like me. There is much to be said for too strident views against Trump and disrespecting the office as well. The Congress has been inexplicable in its inaction and tribalism. Sadly, although I have tons of respect for your thoughtful nature, we'd have to sit down and review our positions as I do with many of my Republican friends. So from my bleeding heart, I send poetic hugs.

Gracie Woodsinger May 21, 2018 at 9:59 AM Susan, I sense a kindred spirit! I'm glad you wrote this, as I agree it is shameful too. No one would think of treating any other sitting president this way. You are completely right, Susan. Susan Gentry May 21, 2018 at 1:18 PM Thanks, Gracie! Appreciate you saying so.

Kim Rodrigues April 18, 2018 at 8:59 AM Thanks, Susan, a very intelligent poem! I I appreciate poems on both sides when they are well written! I hate the way we are treating this president. And we are teaching our children to be disruptive and disrespectful. Thanks again, Susan <3 Susan Gentry April 18, 2018 at 11:38 PM Thank you Kim! That is very true too.

Chris Green March 22, 2018 at 6:36 PM So much truth in your words Susan. I love this poem. Your point is clear and melodically stated. Everyone deserves a chance but I have never seen an elected President have to deal with more crap than this one has. It is ridiculous. I don't spend as much time here as I used to because of all of the Trump bashing I have seen. Susan Gentry March 22, 2018 at 8:38 PM Yes it does get overwhelming. I try to ignore... Thanks for your kind comment. I'm glad I posted it now. Almost didn't.

Rhoda Tripp March 20, 2018 at 7:08 PM I'm not going to comment how I voted but lets just say that I'm still waiting for Cher and Al Sharpton to pack their bags. All the whiners need to give back their record gains in the stock market. Just saying. Thank you for the awesome write. Susan Gentry March 21, 2018 at 7:49 PM Thanks so much Rhoda! I'm glad you liked it (no matter how you didn't vote lol).

Geoffrey Brewer March 20, 2018 at 12:00 PM Susan. How refreshing to read a thoughtful reasoned observation on the President, rather than the usual knee jerk, venemous, emotional rants, normally presented as political analysis. You might like to read my poems: Song if a Protestor; and Sonnet for the Politically Correct. Susan Gentry March 21, 2018 at 7:47 PM Thanks Geoffrey! I really appreciate your comment and will definitely be reading yours.

Richard Lamoureux March 13, 2018 at 5:46 AM I am not a Trump fan but I appreciate a different view of the room. I am also not a Hillary fan. For me I am amazed that out of all the intelligent people in the USA that you ended up with a choice between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumber. I have to also say I find the “Fake News” Mantra to be ludicrous. Intelligent thought on both sides of the aisle is being ignored. Susan Gentry March 20, 2018 at 7:29 AM Thank you!

Harry Horsman March 8, 2018 at 3:40 PM excellent poetry, subject matter, political, always a controversial topic, well done. Susan Gentry March 13, 2018 at 1:36 AM Thanks so much! Good to hear.

Kai Michael Neumann March 8, 2018 at 3:27 AM Brave poetry. I might not agree with trump on any count, but I like it when poets swim against the main strem. Thank you, Kai Susan Gentry March 13, 2018 at 1:35 AM Thank you! I appreciate your comment.

Daniel Turner March 7, 2018 at 11:53 AM You know, Susan. every president is unpopular. Politics is such a cutthroat business. It seems people are afraid of change. Time will be the judge. I did not vote for Mr Trump but I am a patriot. I respect the office. The congress and the house are to blame for inaction or action, not the president. Sitting back and whining is not a solution. I enjoyed your point of view. Rhoda Tripp March 20, 2018 at 7:14 PM Very well written comment, Daniel. Susan Gentry March 7, 2018 at 5:28 PM Thank you! I enjoyed and appreciate your comment. You are so right - especially that time will tell.
