Man Screams at Trump Robot Doll

-news item

Just why would anyone scream at a doll?
A Disney doll in the Hall of Presidents
Apped up to creak and speak, but not to hear
(For even human presidents don’t listen)

So yelling safely at a dummied-down
Emmanuel Goldstein1 of wires and wax
Is not unlike protesting a doorknob
Or verbally abusing a thermostat

Poor old rebel dude – is this all he’s got?
Whatever he feels he is, he’s surely not
