Enemy

Trump, you were warned two months in advance

You like to go rogue and argue with the scientists

You’re a menace of a man putting profit over people

Like Noam Chomsky said “failed states are

Incapable of meeting the needs of the people”

Your incompetent administration, with its dangerous policy choices

Is a threat to the lives of its own citizens

With your extravaganza of deregulation

Bailing out the perpetrators that just keep getting richer

When a diplomat speaks they are muted and used as a your scapegoat

“Don’t offend the orange nazi and his klan with their guns in their hands”

Your sadistic assault against the poor and people suffering around the world,

While every year you’re making cuts to the CDC

US intelligence and health officials knew more than enough and

Now we have a pandemic that’s raging

While you sit in the White House worrying about your ratings,

Our health care system, privatized and profit-driven, is failing

You increase subsidies for fossil fuel, military, and your famous wall

That’s going to save us all from the “drug dealers and rapists”

Anything that goes wrong you point your finger while gloating, thinking you’re a genius

Trump you’re a con man and an enemy of the people
