This is how I see the elite politicos in Washington

 

This could be Washington's View Only slightly tongue in cheek By Franklin Price 6/10/2017 This could be Washington's view They've nothing better to do Get Trump quickly out They stamp and they shout He's not here for me or for you He's here for the country we bleed For sure not the money we need He has billions and more Needs no riches to score Doesn't need our political creed The creed is not written this way But is how it is practiced today If in congress I sit I am a half wit If I don't leave richer I say Trump's here a lesson to teach What he promised does not plan to breach He has stepped on our toes And our out of joint nose We're finding a way to impeach You're a fool if you don't see he lies To the congress you seem to despise We care so much for you All America too That thought crossed our fingers not eyes Can't you see he's an egotist man Foolishly doing all that he can Makes his own self look bad We're exceedingly glad His own fires continues to fan Can't wait 'til he burns himself down And on a rail he rides out of town When we help him along We seem to do it all wrong And you laugh at the bumbling clowns None of us knows what to do Not Trump, not Congress, not you Who caused all this mess? All of us I would guess Can't resist as we tighten the screw If we don't quickly come to our senses Work together to raise our defenses Russia won't be the big threat If we fall further yet Haiti could conquer our fences
