I love how all the men, wearing red MAGA caps, look a lot like Hitler ... and some of the women, even with pearls, look like him, too!! Trump sleeping through it ... says it all!!
ORANGE CAESAR’S CIRCUS
.
Bread and circuses keep the proletariat at bay,
A Roman adage which rings true to the present day,
But when it’s all circuses and no bread,
What’s likely to happen instead,
Is the ringmaster becoming a hungry lion’s buffet…
.
The short-fingered vulgarian has shamelessly shown,
That he regards the “People’s House” as his and his alone,
And like a poodle piddling in the park,
decided to leave his middling mark,
With the tacky tastelessness for which he’s come to be known…
.
Jackie Kennedy’s iconic rose garden was the first to go,
Supplanted by “a place for the Prez to party” patio,
And the East Wing’s demolition,
For a pompous ballroom addition,
Predictably provoked a heated imbroglio…
.
He wished to preside over a gladiatorial spectacle,
With the White House as a backdrop making it respectable,
He hadn’t enjoyed a bloodsport fix,
Since inciting that one on January Sixth,
When his motive was unmistakably insurrectional…
.
The “Peoples House” symbolizes American democracy,
And was never meant to play host to MAGA mobocracy,
Touting manufactured machismo,
Laced with Trumpian egotismo,
Serves only to highlight the current occupant’s idiocracy…
.
Our tone-deaf Orange Caesar should be publicly shamed,
For asking the populace: “Are you not entertained?”,
This should be a time for celebration,
Of the common humanity of our nation,
A proud heritage which should not need to be explained!
