"Vengeance Is Mine!"

"Vengeance is mine!" says Donald Trump.

When he strikes out, he thinks for sure he

Will make his critics cringe and cower,

For they'll be met with "fire and fury."

 

He expects apologies

From all who tried to "bring him down."

"No Obstruction" he says in a tweet--

Capitalizing a common noun.

 

"I have been exonerated!"

He says to the world, although it's not true.

But when has truth ever been

Essential from Trump's point of view?

 

Poor Trumpy just doesn't see

That when you lie, you raise suspicions.

Concerned people have looked for answers

Despite the president's admonitions.

 

When one lie after another is told,

People don't know what to believe.

It seems the Trumpian motto is

"To get ahead, lie and deceive."

 

If he were the only one lying then we

Could say, "Well, that's par for the course."

But when surrogates back up his stories,

Deception's become a tour de force.

 

Were there any apologies

For TEN Benghazi investigations,

None of which proved that there

Were any criminal violations?

 

If we weren’t constantly barraged

With lies and cover-ups, we could

Move ahead and find some ways

To benefit the common good.

 

Now watch how Trump behaves at rallies.

He'll find ways to weaponize

The Mueller Report. Ready, set,

Go! Ah, here come more lies!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A very polemic piece loaded with political TNT and seeming bias against a President who has had the worst press and the worst mauling ever by the press and American institutions. Indeed he is different, overly self confident, iondependent, inarticulate and crude. But what is the truth?
