Tariff Trauma

Our economy is a mess.

What else would anyone expect?

Experts say that Trump's huge tariffs

Will have a devastating effect.

 

Millions of people are hitting the streets.

Wall Street folks are feeling grim

As they acknowledge that Donald Trump

Is someone who runs the country by whim.

 

When Trump was reelected to office,

The nation was in excellent shape

Economically, but now

Economists watch with mouths agape.

 

Will Trump listen to experts? No!

He, instead, has made it clear

That if you are a conspiracy theorist,

You will surely have his ear.

 

The wackier you are the better;

Your crazy theories are your tools.

Therefore, we have quickly become

A country run by dangerous fools.

 

Republicans in Congress could stop him.

But, no, they'd rather toe the line

And do what their puppeteer makes them do.

How can one live without a spine?

 

As workers are being fired from their jobs

And prices rise, there's no remorse

From Trump who's merrily playing golf

On his Florida golfing course.

 

He keeps doubling down on his tariffs

And says they are a beautiful thing--

A stupid comment to make; however,

He doesn't care, for he's the king.
