Draining the Swamp?

Donald Trump's potential appointees

For high positions are quite scary.

Some have dubious qualifications

And border on being reactionary.

 

General Flynn as Security Adviser--

Conspiracy theory peddler supreme.

Could Trump find anyone else

Whose wacky ideas are more extreme?

 

Peddling the lie that Hillary Clinton

Was involved with sex crimes with kids,

Flynn has spread outrageous notions--

Notions that common sense forbids.

 

There's also appointee Scott Pruitt.

What sense does it make to hire

Someone to head the EPA°

Who's a climate change denier?

 

Some of these people would threaten the very

Institutions they're supposed to serve.

From all of the possible qualified people,

The choice of these strikes a nerve.

 

For Secretary of Education

Another name for this ship of fools:

Betsy DeVos--an outspoken

Enemy of public schools!

 

And Ben Carson in charge of HUD?

Someone out there has to voice

Objections to this appointee who

Thinks that being poor is a choice.

 

To work in his administration,

Trump said he would find the best.

The choices above aren't very

Promising, along with the rest:

 

Billionaires and generals

Parading before our eyes with pomp.

So that's what Trump meant when he

Said he was going to "drain the swamp."
