I do not like that man named Trump
I do not like his bloated rump
I do not like his greedy stare
His golf, his crimes, his processed hair
I do not like his petty schemes
Or how he haunts the nation's dreams
I do not like him, not at all -
A neon ego on the wall

The Broken Bargain: Why the Trump Coalition Is Fracturing in 2026
