Snake Oil Salesmen

The Duke and the Dauphin 
    two snake-oil salesmen in 'Huck Finn'
  chased by folks brandishing paddles with nails
    ridden plum out of the county on a rail... 

  Joseph R. Biden and Donald J. Trump
    peddling their rancid cologne to the masses
  Such a pair of stubborn mules, those two
    Let's stick their dunderheads in fertilized mule-asses

A pair of stubborn mules indeed. But we must not forget each one's team of incompetents.

Creative wit penned in this one. Well, one thing you can say they have hung in there through the thick and thin in life and still are fighting. You know Donald Trump's father only gave him one million dollars to start in life. Sara
