Confirming the Obvious

Recently, in the New York Times,

An op-ed essay has hit the press,

Thus causing the president

To send out vicious tweets in distress.

 

Claiming to be a senior White House

Official, the writer wants to let

The people know that even though

Trump is unhinged, not to fret.

 

Because Trump is ill-informed,

Impulsive, and given to constant lying,

He can't be trusted to handle the job,

Which to many is terrifying.

 

He's impetuous, adversarial,

Reckless, petty, and quick to revile.

Any good has happened DESPITE

And not BECAUSE of his leadership style.

 

The writer insists that our knowing

One special thing will lessen the gloom:

Even though Trump is a mess,

Luckily, there are "adults in the room."

 

Thwarting the president's misguided

Impulses is the task

Of these "adults," each of whom

Has to hide behind a mask.

 

To publish the piece anonymously

Some people feel is wrong.

But, hey, it only confirms something

That we have known all along.

Yes! I am married to a rabid Trumper, and he has gone insane. All he ever talks about are Trump's
fake accomplishments.
"He's keeping all his promises!" One would think he was talking about Jesus.
"You man he is carrying out his threats,"
I reply, looking longingly down at my T-shirt. On this, President Obama smiles above the legend: MISS ME YET?
Oh, yes.
