The Manchild

A complex man, not very wise, A spoilt child in a man's disguise A man child who can't behave Whose followers he enslaves He tells them things they want to hear And fills their simple hearts with fear, He fills their minds with hate and lies He is a man all should despise But they adore this ignorant fool And attend this manchild school

He's a step ahead of his base followers though. And they are base! (I presume you mean Mr. Trump). As for Mr. Biden, the progressives are two steps ahead of him and pulling the poor man along for the ride. :) gw

It would not take much to be ahead of the people that follow Mr Trump. He left a mess for whoever came after him to sort out, what with the covid and Natures anger it is not a good time to be elected as President especially at the age of 78.
