FAT CAT / POOR MAN
Trump’s running to stay out of jail
New campaign sign … Trump is for SALE *1
Recent flirtation … Elon Musk
Trump changed his tune … a bit less brusk
Trump thinks he’s Midas … worships gold
Pliable, easy … sells his soul
Morphs, attracts “birds of a feather”
Money, honey work together *2
Suspected scam … pretense he’s rich *3
Blue collars workers hear his pitch
Trump’s unaligned with them … words dire
Those Union guys once loved … “You’re fired!” *4
Trump’s shifted now … he has his schemes
Goes after gold, the pitchman’s dream
Vying now to fill his coffers
WHO might have a better offer? *5
Trump’s a loser … BIG WIN he seeks
By every means including cheats
He must catch up … build momentum
Overwhelm the competition *6
Trump and his sidekick … dance with Vance
While counting on blue collared chance
Fodder fed LIES found on Fox “News”
Trump loyalists … clueless, confused
Alphabet stuck on letter D
Dystopian … and DARK agreed
Counting on their acts Divisive
Dictatorship … plan incisive *7
FAT CAT named TRUMP has hit the rails
Disoriented tells the tale
MAGA Mojo for white dude’s tribe
Another Diatribe … TRUMP LIED
