America's 2024 Vote For Dishonesty, Xenophobia, Misogyny, and Corruption

With dad’s vast wealth, Don became iconic,
Gaining power through paranoia. How ironic!
He concealed his fragility, fear, and fecklessness
Through bullying, incivility, and recklessness.

Fake university and foundation, bad deals and corruption.
Money laundering, sedition, and justice disruption.
His psychotic quest for authoritarian autocracy
Led militia wingnuts into anarchy.
Denying business failures, faking savvy and ability,
He convinced lenders of his management facility.
All his assets were illegally attained;
Five major lawsuits and trials remained.
Intrigue again reigns in the golden Trump Towers
As he continues to blur separation of powers.
After his Supreme Court picks, we saw
A fascist dictator above the law.
New cabinet picks foretell more disaster
As they grovel before their incompetent master.
We failed to learn that more of the same
Will only bring us conflict and shame.

Leadership by hubris, bullying, and intimidation
Are examples for your children's emulation.
Sarcastic, callous, demeaning, and shallow;
In his misdeeds our country must wallow.

Are we educated and informed? Another Big Lie.
We elected a pied piper who wears a red tie.
World’s best government? What a delusion!
Our voting naiveté demonstrates our confusion.
Within the hype we failed to vet
Is the power-hungry tyrant we've come to regret.
