The Naked Poseur, Wearing only Delusions of Grandeur

How many marks flummoxed by gold/ Enriched a felon not on parole!

It’s getting impossible to unravel
MAGA’s descent into daily babble;
What villainous fools escape censure,
Concocting the same misadventure?

To take orders from Netanyahu,
To bomb Iran per Hegseth voodoo,
Confirm delusions of grandeur –
The wicked mask of warrior poseur.

Yes, ham-fisted empires rise and fall,
But conquered by their own blackmail?
What horrendous Trump decision
Wasn’t a swamp of demolition?

How else can MAGA Trump end
Except with more lying and pretend?
How long will rightwing “grievance”
Only hide disgraced malfeasance?

Shock and awe, lying hypocrisy
Fabricate a dead-end reality;
How many marks flummoxed by gold
Enriched a felon not on parole!

A cult blind to criminality
Naturally propels misery;
Does Trump sell more than hate
Desperate for marks to subjugate?

Depression and a loveless life
Make losers punish others with strife;
If Stephen Miller’s the cat’s meow–
A hellhound of holier-than-thou.

Before reforms offset the mess
We must purge the MAGA abscess.
Ritual months of repudiation
And cauterize all with exorcism.

Was Trump more than mental pipsqueak
Not drenched in lies and double-speak?
Creepy has-been plying his old stunts,
Flush with vengeful, serial witch hunts.

The poison of toxic Trumpism
Revealed as would-be fascism;
The midterm acts as first antiviral,
But cures demand MAGA death spiral.
