Trump Insanity


As a Canadian, 
I watched the American Presidential Race, 
After all, we are connected by a border;
For now anyways, perhaps since Trump is President he will build a wall,
(to keep you guys in)
What truly amazes me is that Trump never has to give a speech;
All he has to do is incite a riot and that is the end of that,
He seems to really enjoy the whole riot thing;
Although he claims to be a peaceful man,
(or have someone else speak)
He makes our Prime Minister look like a God with light shining on him;
And the former President, a demi God, smiling, peaceful and calm, 
And Hillary is like the Virgin Mary;
Trump is not even afraid to take on the Pope, maybe that is his next job,
The Canadian Immigration are getting thousands and thousands of applications;
Come on, we welcome you, bring your money, our economy is in in dumps,
What I find disturbing are the Trump followers;
(I wish I knew why they believed in him so much)
I don't claim to understand the whole political U.S.A. scene,
But it seems a bit scary and insane from here;
I listened to him today in a speech begging all civilized countries,
To join  in the bombing over Syria because they sprayed nerve gas;
It was the first time Trump showed any emotion,
I guess the imagines of innocent dead babies, children, adults got to him;
Maybe, just maybe he will now become a President . . .  maybe????

Broken Wings...the storm on the horizon is a knuckle dragging life form! The circus will bring a small car to the center of the ring, open the door and one clown after another keeps getting out...in this case, the same clown keeps getting out...over and over and...Very observant write of yours!! :-)

This wouldn't have been at all inspired from my recent satire on Mr. Drumpf? Not sure how things are run in Canada, but it IS a political circus down here ... complete with clowns and dancing lions. We vote for presidents as if it were like voting for the Homecoming King & Queen at the Prom ... it's a popularity contest, and for Drumpf, he has shown that any attention is GOOD attention. Not sure if I'd compare Hillary to the Virgin Mary however! Lol...

Tim, yes indeed your Drumpf rant did inspire me to write this poem, thank you for that, oh I am hearing that a lot from people, that they just will not vote, it is a circus act for sure and how sad that people are so desperate for change that they are willing to vote a hitler into office...

If Drumpf or Clinton end up being the candidates (and it looks like that's pretty likely), then I'm not even sure if I will vote ... sad circumstances indeed! Great satire, Constance.
