Absolute Power

With help from his lawyers, the man who loves

To have his name displayed on towers

Is now trying to make a case

That basically gives him unlimited powers.

 

His lawyers say that he should be

Shielded from all investigation

While he serves as president.

What a scary situation!

 

Even if he attempted to murder

Another person, no one could stop him.

When it comes to immunity,

No one else in the country can top him.

 

Regarding U.S. federal workers,

Here's what POTUS has even suggested:

In order to keep their jobs, their

Devotion to him ought to be tested!

 

He encouraged his lackeys in Congress

To storm impeachment proceedings like fools,

Where they interrupted business

And violated ethics rules.

 

Since he took office, the president

Has constantly chipped away

At many American institutions.

He also loves his pay for play!

 

In other words, the White House insists--

And this should stick in everyone's craw--

That no matter what he does,

The president's above the law.

 

Americans should be concerned.

This grasping for power affects us acutely.

As Orwell showed in Animal Farm,

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

 

How many rules will he flout?

When will all the nonsense end?

To what depths of depravity

Can the president descend?

 

So Kim Jong Un, Putin, and other

Dictators worldwide,

Donald Trump longs to join you.

Will you kindly step aside?

SPOT ON, dear Sir, spot on.

Listening to Trump’s lawyers defend their case is frightening.

EVERYTHING linked to and about Trump is scary. Now Barr's kicking up his heels. Guess he's got to keep things going since Giuliani has quietened down a little.
