A Bad Day

Yesterday was a rotten one

For Donald Trump. What a shame!

In desperation Trump has jumped

Out of the frying pan into the flame.

 

His friend and former campaign manager,

Paul Manafort, was convicted

On eight felony counts, although

More convictions had been predicted.

 

Then his lawyer, Michael Cohen,

Pleaded guilty on eight counts

And implicated the president

In a felony, as the tension mounts.

 

Trump is an unindicted co-

Conspirator in a federal crime,

According to Cohen--something that many

Have suspected all the time.

 

Also, an early supporter in Congress,

Hunter Duncan, was indicted

For the misuse of campaign funds.

Do all who touch Trump become blighted?

 

Meanwhile, Omarosa says

She has many more tapes to play.

It almost seems as though the president's

Teflon coating is wearing away.

 

As Trump's Republican defenders

In Congress flat out refuse to condemn

Trump's actions, people wonder

"What does Putin have on THEM?"

 

"I always hire the best people,"

Donald Trump would frequently boast.

Stay away from Donald Trump

Or you, too, are going to be toast.
