The Enemy Within

He’s a conman without any conscience 
owned by Putin for secrets he keeps 
And as long as the blackmail continues 
Trump enjoys all the freedom he reaps
He created a trade war with tariffs
turned our allies into enemies
Like a mobster that uses extortion 
on each leader he put on the squeeze 
All the chaos he makes is intended 
part of Project 2025
In the wings, antebellum is waiting 
for its faithfully racist to rise
He is burning up all of our treasure
our taxes are paying for ICE
As they threaten and beat on the people
it is Trump retribution, done twice
He’s a loser who’s angry for losing
always yearning for praise of his work 
So he’s taking it out on the country 
where he’s commonly known as a jerk
He exists to get back at his rivals
as his thirst for revenge never sate
And the stench that we smell is the rotting 
of a soul filled with vengeance and hate
He’s dismantling our institutions 
and installing himself as a king 
With a ballroom where bribery’s welcomed 
and the players will all kiss the ring
Truth be told, he’s a swindler and traitor
who is drowning in lies and deceit 
He’s the enemy of all that is decent
and a loser who’s feeling the heat
