President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump
He’s a bombastic chump
Who dictates to others using twitter
His sanctions make some feel bitter

I think he makes many feel more than bitter but, I don't think we can use such words on the Soup. Why can't he just be a human being? Good luck in the contest.

Excellent, Jan, sums him up perfectly. Although I think he should have his own social media stream called 'Twatter'. Viv x

I just saw the choices on this contest and laughed aloud, knowing the negativity I would portray might haunt me for a long time. It was not worth the risk. Your poem is Wonderful! Nicely built. And well-said.

Hi Jan, I totally agree, how can we take anything he says serious when he tweets about eveything? Good Clerihue. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

I can't understand why he thinks 'twatter' is the way to inform people, so few characters allowed, how can you get any sort of message across:-( hugs Jan xx

God will bless you for being so kind to dumb animals! Now the world sees Trump as a vacuous showman who blathers in awe at genuine dictators! You know he sold the USA down the Volga to Putin in their private talk! So happy you have chosen to speak up - and out! Aloha! Rico

I don't get much involved in political banter, the one thing that gets me is that why would the president be using Twitter, it seems so I don't know, high school to me. If you want someone to take your message seriously then why shove it into a brevity message on a flaky social media site...you're poem is spot on.

I can proudly say I did not vote for him. Another admirable write.
Allison Avatar

I didn't vote for him either she says tongue in cheek as I'm in the UK. I cringe every time I put the tv or radio on, he is a walking nightmare and his actions reverberate around the world . I doubt the Queen will be dashing to invite him to meet again, walking in front of her was a huge blunder but he just seems oblivious and carries on regardless:-( hugs jan xx
