The King of Cover-up

The king of cover-up is at it again,

Downplaying financial ties

And close connections with other countries,

Especially when questions arise.

 

First it was with Putin and Russia.

How much collusion remains to be seen.

Conspiracy in election meddling?

Whitewashing is now routine.

 

And then there was the hush-money

To cover-up some hanky-panky.

Dissimulation's easy when

You've got money in the banky.

 

It looks as though you must deny

And try to hide actions you rue,

But calling your fling "horse face," is that

A gentlemanly thing to do?

 

Now the cover-up deals with the Saudis--

With the crown prince and the Saudi king.

Denial…admittance…rogue players…

It has such a familiar ring.

 

After bragging over and over

About the millions of dollars he's made

From wealthy Saudis, his words are now

Exploding like a hand grenade.

 

When the leader has conflicts of interest,

Critics, pundits, and others who know

Where his interests really lie,

Shrug and say, "We told you so!"

 

He says he has a "natural instinct

For science." Isn't THAT a joke!

I wish his "natural instinct" was for

Telling the truth whenever he spoke.
