Thank-Me Rallies

The crowd cheers, faces light up,

As Trump beams and mentally tallies

The number of fawning participants

Attending the first of his thank-me rallies.

 

Confusing facts and figures, such as

The number of refugees "pouring in,"

He blasts the "dishonest" media, which

Inadvertently helped him win.

 

He also promises scores of changes

In jingoistic words and phrases,

Oblivious to the repercussions

And questions that such talk raises.

 

He claims to be the "messenger."

By voting for him, we all won;

And even without our help, change

Will happen. HE will get it done.

 

Loving the spotlight, he looks upon

His thank-me rallies with great affection,

Even though normally

Campaign rallies PRECEDE an election.

 

Meanwhile Trump will tour the states,

Full of himself and hoping that we go

To celebrate his "victory"--

To feed and nurture his giant ego.
