I look at the campaign
\nread claptrap on Trump\u2019s blog
\nand this is what I see
\na narrow minded demagogue
\nthreatening American liberty
\nI heard of ludicrous Mexican walls
\nplanned by a racist pumped up ego
\nand wonder where he got the balls
\nto think Americans would say
\nalong with you we go
\nI look at poll after poll
\nand what do my tired eyes find
\nthat most American\u2019s realize
\nDonald Trump has lost his mind
\n\u00a0
\nAfter Langston Hughes\u2019 poem I Look At The World.<\/p>\n
D.J. Trump \u2013 Portrait of \u00a0a\u00a0 Loser
\n\u00a0
\nTrump? I clearly see a \u2018BIGLY\u2019 loser there
\nlacking the substance a president requires
\nwith 70 year old teenage hormonal desires
\nspouting untruths he calls the media unfair
\nmy heart and soul sink\u00a0 so I say a prayer
\nfor Trump and the muck in which he mires
\na campaign where candidates call each other liars
\nin search to find a truth he knows not where
\nwill he give direct answers to the hard part
\nof questions the media and general public ask
\nor is he just a blowhard super dumb old fart
\nbumbling billionaire not equal to the task
\ndirect my vote to the person that is right
\nas an educated voter with some clear insight
\n\u00a0\u00a0
\n(inspired by 16th century Tuscan poet, Giovanni
\nDella Casa\u2019s poem, \u2018Portrait of a Lady\u2019. Della
\nCasa is also known for a famous etiquette book,
\ncalled \u2018Galateo\u2019. Something Trumpery should have
\nread before he started his ugly campaign.)<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the Walls Came Down All the Way to Hell\u2026\u201d
\n\u00a0
\nGreat Wall of China:
\nthe Emperor of China had troubles from the North
\nhe had a wall built from the sea to the Gobi desert
\ninvaders climbing over and around poured forth
\nmany who built it died and took most of the hurt
\nMedieval Castle Walls:
\nkings, queens, princes, duchesses and dukes
\nbuilt thick castle walls surrounded by moats
\nmany have now crumbled and royalty rebuked
\ndemocracy adopted and leaders elected by votes
\nThe Berlin Wall:
\nafter WWII Russians and German Communists
\nbuilt a wall across Berlin so that people couldn\u2019t run
\nthose escaping were shot, German spies kept lists
\nReagan said \u2018Tear Down This Wall\u2019 destruction had begun
\nTrump\u2019s Mexican Wall:
\nDonald J. Trump promises a huge anti Mexican border wall
\nwhich will ultimately take Trumpty Dumpty on his final fall<\/p>\n
The title is taken from the first line of the chorus of Tweeter and the Monkey Man as sung by Bob Dylan and the Traveling Wilburys, 1988.

\nDeny the Adult Adolescent Aspirant
\n\u00a0
\nAmerica is already great I\u2019ve always thought
\nand it is alive and well within my patriotic breast
\nwith our great history and why our forefathers fought
\non my birthdate the Star Spangled Banner rests*
\nTrump says he will \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d
\nthat he will build a Mexican wall to give us hope
\nhis red hats keep repeating the campaign refrain
\nwhile many women say he likes to grab and grope
\nrepeating himself twice or more in all his speeches
\nloads of negatives, empty promises, and little policy
\nwith an insulting whining demeanor he preaches
\nhis entire campaign is lacking in POTUS quality
\nmy thoughts on Donald Trump will not be moved
\nhis brute demagoguery is simply NOT APPROVED
\n\u00a0
\n*Inspiration is Petrarch\u2019s 14th century sonnet, Love the Tyrant. I was born on Sept. 14, the day Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner in 1814.<\/p>\n
Our Nation\u2019s Fate After a Thousand Days
\n\u00a0
\nwell D.T. won the 2016 election and wouldn\u2019t you just know
\nhis major foreign policy program is completely bogged down
\nwith inordinate obsession and focus on the border of Mexico
\ndumb immigration policy of President Trumpty Dumpty clown
\nalready three years and president more than a thousand days
\nfighting with both houses of Congress for funding and passage
\nAmericans who look south from San Diego see only pollution haze
\nD.T.\u2019s at Taco Bell, Taco Time, Chipotle eating chorizo sausage
\nabout all those promises to stop crime and killing on the streets
\nthere has not been one piece of legislation on gun law passed
\nNeighborhood Watch gets a few Trump Tweets and Retweets
\nPence and Congress remain filibustered with a focus on the past
\nfrom Brownsville, TX to Baja California, Chihuahua to Calexico
\nonly coyotes and mules cross the desert on the border of Mexico<\/p>\n
