What Makes You Think You'Re Qualified
What Makes You Think you're Qualified

What makes you think you're qualified to run for president?
Your timing is a little off; it hasn't come or it has went.
Nothing you have to offer can help this country out.
Most of what you speak is meaningless of that I have no doubt
Cannot attract attention away from Donald Trump
King of world wide real estate; politically he's Forest Gump.
Lighting up the media, to tout his point of view;
not much substance to it, but then that's really nothing new.
You all have tried that tactic; of a plan to make things right;
a lot of words and no real substance, nothing to lead us to the light
Pointing fingers elsewhere when your plan is just hot air;
no wonder Trump can move right in, perhaps it's only fair
At least he doesn't waver, almost every time he speaks,
makes a fool out of himself, has no plan, he really reeks,
but then so do the rest of you, except for one or two,
who are really not flamboyant; when they present their point of view
Their plans may have some substance, but do not attract the news,
or the voters to elect them with their country saving views.
What they're saying is not popular, calls for a little sacrifice,
from the rich and poor alike; that doesn't make them very nice.
The voters are the fault you see they always have their say
and they don't want to sacrifice tomorrow or today.
They just keep on complaining that the rich men have it all.
All they have to do to change things is to make the proper call.
A president of substance not air that's only hot,
a cooperating Congress would also help a lot,
Vote out do nothing dead wood who have been there way too long
and raise America up again to the place where we belong
