Trump tells his base: hang tough. Then *he* chokes on tariffs. Twice.

Hey—Donnie killed tariffs on phones!
He blinked like he’s running from drones.
The markets went down
then from tech lords, a frown…
this coward just ain’t got the stones.

While Trump brags, his victims make deals with other countries.

Beware of the braggart who claims
“They’re kissing my ass—that’s my game!”
When it comes crashing down
and we call him a clown, he’ll be 
looking for someone to blame.

Trump proclaimed, “America’s back!” From where? We were already succeeding.

“America’s Back”? Oh, you ignorant hack!
Our country is slipping away.
The speeches you make reveal you’re a fake
who serves up a vommit soufflé.

So much that you say has no basis in fact…
Your plan for destruction is cast.
You’re papering over despicable acts…
“America First” puts us last.

When hubris meets dim on the graph
add cluelessness, then try to laugh. 
I’d think it was funny
but there goes my money
to fatten up Trump’s golden calf.
