April 7 Why Trump

April 7—Figure something out in a poem Why Trump? For the last six years I have been trying To figure out Why 40 percent Of my fellow Americans Still support Trump. Still believe he was The greatest President ever. I just don’t understand it Trump is a racist, misogynist Sexual predator rapist, narcissistic Fraudster, con artist, grifter. Who has lost billions Of dollars over the years Never pay his contractors Or his lawyers. Has been involved In over 3,000 lawsuits And lost most of them. Who lied over 30,000 times When he was President And at least 10,000 times Since then. Including the big lie That he won the last election Both in the popular vote And in the Electoral College vote. Over 90 courts concluded That there was not there there And that he lost the election. There was no widespread fraud The election was fair and square And he lost. Trump is the poster child For the seven deadly sins And is not a Christian Far from it. Yet to his deluded followers God anoints him To destroy the enemies Of the Christian faith. Now a court has declared That he defrauded the State Of New York To the tune of 450 million dollars. He stole top-secret documents Denied he had them Refused to give them back And openly talked about them. With people not cleared For secret and top-secret Documents. He plotted to overturn The election And stay in power. He openly promises He will be a dictator And round up millions Of illegals, and political dissidents When he is re-elected, Why he is polling at 40 percent And not 4 percent Is beyond me. The best I can conclude Is he appeals to those who believe The whole system is corrupt. And is rigged against Lower-middle-class Christian white Americans. They feel that they have been Royalty screwed over by The masters of the universe. Who see workers As nothing but Disposable labor units Of production. And they are right And Trump for his faults Speaks to the forgotten men And women in fly-over country, That is why he is still popular And could be re-elected And if he is re-elected Can American Christian fascism Be coming?
