Not a Crook

I am not a crook
 just close your eyes, don't look,
these others that surround me make all the mistakes
 that's why I don't give, I only secretly take
and if you give me time
 there is a leader here to find.

Fake news to the left of me
 the base to the right praise me on their bended knees,
and all those in between are democratic lie machines
 those deceitful liars are ghoulish revengeful fiends
each tries relentless as they may
 but I will never ever slip away, hear what I say.

That one there, he's a crook and a fraud
 I speak plain and loud my lack of flaws applaud,
some call me a braggart, a Buffon, 
 a president to impeach at noon;
check out these others or that one over there
 lock him up, lock her up, lock them all, let no one be spared.

Forget the FBI, the CIA, they haven't got a clue
 our foreign friends' investigations alone can reveal what's true,
and my republican senate friends who do not speak, 
 strive in their diligence to keep me out of reach;
I'm above it all, just wait and see, I'm the President untouched
 standing above the multitudes who give me their blind trust.

Not quite sure if you're tongue's partially in your cheek on this one or not, but well-penned! :) gw
