Show Me The Money!

Twenty trillion, so he claims,
has hit the White House coffers:
he says we’re rolling in the loot –
where is it?

We’re all playing Hunger Games.
Qataris make him offers.
The Congress has been put on mute –
where is it?

He wants to shaft Letitia James:
no evidence he proffers.
He holds, he says, a winning suit –
where is it?

Kicking butt and naming names -
or Noems – they’re Jimmy Hoffas!
Their policy ‘will soon bear fruit’ –
where is it?

Cuba Gooding, Seal, Ving Rhames,
we’re Jimmy Kimmels, scoffers.
“No Epstein stuff”, yells the galoot:
where is it?

The People’s House goes up in flames,
applauded by his champagne-quaffers.
“International repute” -
where is it?
