Trump

Some think Trump is their savior
Others think he's a lust-laden bum
A devil pushing pawns just for fun
but strip the smoke from the mirror  
and the image becomes much clearer
he's just a bloated reflection of us.

Hi Anthony. I like "bloated". You accurately said it was a picture of us. Right on. Citizens of the USA are quite portly. And it's far easier to point a finger at the wrong person. Nothing in the office of the Presidency has a weight qualification. How utterly insane:we allow stretchy clothes for overweight women but think being overweight is an evil for men. I want a POTUS with a Brain.Trump was never thin from Day1. He was elected by many. Not in a GQ beauty contest. Panagiota
