The Quantum Problem With Trump

Is Donald Trump not essentially American, 
An exemplary icon of quintessential America? 
A normal man to the loud, confident American, 
The pride of the burly, bullish pedestrian?  
 
Freedom of speech is understood by Americans, 
To mean that diversity is the consequential result, 
And that all can perambulate along vocality’s road, 
Without fear of scathing, of the eloquence catapult. 

Bigotry is rife in the States and you can’t criticise, 
Harshness, coarseness or brevity for anything, 
Because if you do a snide remark with cascade, 
To sedate your narrow mind and morality thing. 

So here’s the thing: the president is not normal, 
But is a speciality without symbolism of the norm, 
So maybe it should be harder, languages required, 
To become a presidential nominee with silk form.
