Hi Bill,
I sense you are unhappy with the election results. But the people have spoken, eh? What were they thinking? He's rounding up people to deport. He's making questionable picks for very important positions. What else has he up his sleeve?
I love the last bit of your poem,
"Do you remember when
we jailed thieves, grifters, and spies?
Now we make them department heads."
Nicely penned!
Cheers,
Kimbob

    I will ease off Trump, but his picks for departments are dumb, dumb, dumb.

You got it right in one. Greed is now the watch word. I want more is the national creed. We thought the nineties were selfish years. Try to enjoy Autumn. Go look at the colors. Karen

    I know the problem. I keep seeing him in South America roasting on a spit in a cannibal village. Karen

Like most fads and failed great ideas, they only last for a season. Those who are fooled and misled by the perpetrators eventually wake up, come to their senses and ask themselves what were they thinking? and try desperately try to fix their screwups.

This poem, dear Bill, tends to fit the situation in so many countries today, where the qualification for elective office is heaps of vice. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. Well done.

I must confess I really thought your last line was going to read:
'Now we allow then to become President.'
But I really do think, people who loudly brag and promote their own talents, all too often rise to positions far exceeding their own ability.

I remember that we talked about those things but seems all we do any more is talk. It's going to be a long 4 years. Thanks for sharing. ____________

You know I completely agree with you. People who voted for him still try to tell me that he just talks and doesn't plan to do anything he says. That's not comforting either.

    He will take advantage of majority rule in senate to appoint all new posts without democratic help.
