Xenophobia In a Trump America

Xenophobia in Trump’s America

Black and brown foreigners, believes our blond superman,
Are taking our jobs, a racist approach, his Muslin ban
And support for building this xenophobic wall,
Have cost America Millions, let it fall,
Sad for a president to have more foe than fan!

My third limerick in my trilogy

Thanks Sara - Trump is one of a kind - Pity Americans could only find this out after voting him in! Thanks for visiting - be well Sara. Poetry hugs, Jennifer

Yes I know Jack, and I heard talk that some want and will vote him in for a 2nd term - What an American disaster! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Trump has only one way of looking at the world. His narcissistic behavior rules his troubled mind.

Hi Arbol, You are absolutely correct, his ego is inflated and his arrogance towards others is beyond reason - but not just in his later years, from his youth! Thanks Arbol Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Thank-you Arturo - he is overdue for retirement! Thank-goodness he is a billionaire as he certainly could not live on a state pension as millions have to do in America. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

G'day Jennifer … perhaps the agenda is not to keep foreigners out, but Americans in - who would know how he really thinks - Lindsay

A little like a dictator I think Lindsey and sad to say he may even go a second term by which time anyone taking over the presidency will have almost an impossible task, OR, if the republicans come in again, could be a Trump clone! Thank you for your comment Lindsay, Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Newspaper today reports that, for the first time, more than 50% of Americans support Donald Trump. Who would believe so many people want their children to admire a liar, cad, thief, and racist? Mahalo for your opposition! Aloha! Rico

Hi Rico, Perhaps he has achieved what he wanted, to spread his xenophobic fears to the public, his voters - people are afraid of the new and change, so they settle for this arrogant egotistical man to rule them. He is racist and this is the greatest fear of all - for there could be a backlash! Thanks for a great comment Rico, Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

What can I add, Jennifer? Nothing my friend. I am surprised you can sum it up in only three.

Thanks Caren - I am sure we could all write volumes on Trump, but covered the international concerns (the world is up in arms against this man). Poetry hugs, Jennifer

Hi Jan, let's suggest he re-enacts his whole period of time he has been a president on a reality show, imagine the views and ratings we would get! As for him facing reality itself in real life, his ego is too enormous for this! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
