Crackpots and Conspiracy Theories

Crackpots and conspiracy theories

Give the news a certain pizzazz.

Though there's not any credibility,

There's a lot of razzmatazz.

 

Trump, to further his nativist cause,

Has added Stephan Bannon to his team--

Bannon, that is, of Breitbart fame--

To help a campaign that's losing steam.

 

Trump's logic defies understanding.

To appeal to voters, he embraces

A propagator of conspiracy theories

To encourage and strengthen whatever his base is!

 

If that isn't bad enough,

He's also brought in Roger Ailes,

Recently fired from Fox News--

A place where innuendo prevails.

 

Trump's decisions aren't the wisest.

Why in the world does he think it will pay

To make a campaign even MORE divisive

Than the one that's already underway?

 

The man wants African-American votes,

So what the clueless candidate does

Is speak in a town that's ninety-five

Percent white! Just because.

 

Charles Sykes says that Trump's

Campaign is in its "hospice phase."

Frankly, it seems that all along

It's suffered from a general malaise.

 

Crackpots and conspiracy theories:

It's amazing how they abound.

As Trump rallies more alt-right fanatics,

Madness, my friends, is gaining ground.
