Rare earth.
Raw nerves.
Who needs diplomacy
  when he can have good TV?

Your poetry is elegant and about sums it all up. There was an editorial in the NYT within the past few days that put it well, but they needed pages. It's all about making him the center of power so that rich people (oligarchs) have to pay for access. The rest of us are pawns. Sally, hope you're well.

This is so thought provoking. And so well expressed dear sally. You have a way with words, democracy nowadays seems to be misused and misunderstood too. Unfortunately , so many don’t understand boundaries and respect. I hope you are doing well dear poetic soul! Its always so good to see you post! Sending you light always

An ambush of this sort is shaming our nation under God, in full view of the civil and civilized world. Don't worry, dear Sally the world is watching...Thank you for sharing. Blessings & virtual hugs~

There are contemporaries today.' I would have excellent choice all round ' than good t v info as who catagorises what good is.? Anyway Sally E Slinger.' Lol))) I enjoyed this one.
