Trump's three stooges--Karoline Leavitt,
Pam Bondi, and Kristi Noem°--
Perform for their almighty leader
And lie until the cows come home.

Listen to them and you will hear
That when the three of them are pressed
To give an answer to journalists' questions,
They'll undoubtedly do their best

To artfully avoid the topic,
And you will hear them bring up the name
Of Joe Biden, their punching bag.
For ALL that's wrong, Biden's to blame.

If they want to keep their jobs,
They have to lie for Trump, of course.
If they told the bitter truth,
Then he'd demand a quick divorce.

Trump and all his admin team
Have been well-trained in hocus pocus.
They have been instructed to always
Deflect, ignore, and shift the focus.

We are watching as day by day
The river of lies continues to widen.
Trump and his team think they'll win points
By telling untruths and screaming "Biden!"

(This poem can be sung to the verse and chorus of the Village People's song "Macho Man.")

Trump doesn't like it if you call him TACO° man.
Anyone who calls him that cannot be his fan.
Tariffs up the ying yang--not so cool.
Thinks he's smart but he is just a fool.

Everyone can see that he's the TACO man.
He's turned the U.S.A. into TACOSTAN.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

TACO TACO man--
Trump's nothing but the TACO man.
TACO TACO man--
Just call him Mr. TACO (man).
TACO TACO man--
He'll cheat you any way that he can.
Know that that's his plan.
Just call him Mr. TACO (man).

You can read right through him; he's like an open book.
The people who are near him know he is a crook.
******* over others: his routine,
With the biggest ego that we've seen.

Everyone can see that he's the TACO man.
A boy who will not grow up, he's just like Peter Pan.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

TACO TACO man--
Trump's nothing but the TACO man.
TACO TACO man--
Just call him Mr. TACO (man).
TACO TACO man--
He'll cheat you any way that he can.
Know that that's his plan.
Just call him Mr. TACO (man).

He has filed for bankruptcy many many times.
One wonders when he'll have to pay for all his crimes.
Filling all his coffers to the brim,
He thinks corruption, greed, and grift can't hurt HIM.

It's so obvious that he's the TACO man.
We saw his shenanigans before his term began.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

TACO TACO man--
Trump's nothing but the TACO man.
TACO TACO man--
Just call him Mr. TACO (man).
TACO TACO man--
He'll cheat you any way that he can.
Know that that's his plan.
Just call him Mr. TACO (man).

°The term "TACO trade" was first coined by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong and stands for "Trump Always Chickens Out." Some people prefer "Trump Always Cheats Others."

In this growing autocracy
That too many people are getting behind,
Folks are getting in trouble for merely
Saying the truth and speaking their mind.

ABC journalist Terry Moran
Was fired from the network for having said
That Stephen Miller's° a "world-class hater."
He hit the nail right on the head!

That's what Stephen Miller is--
A "world-class hater" through and through.
His neo-**** rhetoric
Is really bizarre, for he is a Jew.

James Comey°° is also in trouble
For what he'd written in the sand:
86 47.
He was merely taking a stand.

Because of what Mr. Comey had written,
Trump called on the FBI
To carry out an investigation,
For Comey he'd LOVE to crucify.

86 47.
I'll say it now; I'll say it again:
86 47,
About Donald Trump, the vilest of men.

If Miller and Trump would like to keep
Attacks on them from percolating
Through news sources everywhere,
Maybe they should both stop hating.

°Aide to Donald Trump
°°Former FBI director

Trump is looking for a showdown,
Repeating his tired and weary refrain:
How to inflame a situation
So he can obtain political gain.

Amping up the ICE raids here
In California: his newest plan.
He wants to show the people that
He's in charge--that he's the MAN.

Equating migrants with evil doers--
A racist and dangerous equation--
He says he's going to "liberate"
L.A. from a "migrant invasion."

He knew that scary raids by ICE--
His cruel, scummy, and constant fixation--
Would anger people, and thugs would take
Advantage of the situation.

He'll say the state can't solve its problems
Of violence. "However, they'll see
That I can fix it by sending in troops.
Everyone, bow down to me."

Protests had been peaceful for months,
But Trump right now is overjoyed.
To see how sick the man has become,
You don't have to be a Sigmund Freud.

Pursuing his political goals--
Let's call this "The Dictator Hour"--
He's shattering norms, one by one,
And bypassing any limits on power.

He's setting California up,
Knowing what would come about.
He loves to start a fire and then
Employ theatrics to put it out.

-by Bob B (6-9-25)

Trump is causing chaos again--
Something for which we'll ALL pay the price:
He's revving up his strong-man-ordered,
Police-state-tactic raids by ICE.°

To add to the chaos, he's calling on
The National Guard to get involved.
He thinks that all he has to do
Is send in the Guard and problem solved.

Going into places of work
And yanking people off the streets,
ICE agents want Trump to be
Proud of their autocratic feats.

When we are shouting civil rights,
Trump doesn't care if there's abuse.
He merely wants to find more ways
To flex his muscle. Any excuse!

We will have a police state where
We live in fear if we allow
ICE to continue its cruel tactics.
We have to PEACEFULLY protest now!

°Immigration and Customs Enforcement

We see that Trump and his Republican
Friends are not averse
To funding cuts. Thus, they've become
Robin Hoods in reverse.

Robin Hood had a giant heart,
But this is quite a switch:
Republicans are robbing the poor
And helping out the rich!

Cutting healthcare and food assistance
Programs is their goal--
Something very unpopular
In almost every poll.

Some were holding out at first,
And, no, it wasn't a bluff.
They opposed the bill because
It didn't cut enough!

The bill also has a provision,
Which we know from reports
Takes away the contempt power
From our federal courts.

Is letting them take away our freedoms
Something we're okay with?
We must stop them from doing something
They shouldn't get away with.

Speak up! Protest! Raise your voice!
Watch Republicans gloat
As they take away our rights.
Remember that when you vote.
