Maureen Dowd wrote an Op-Ed in the NY Times, Sunday Review titled “Trump’s Gold Lining“, which provided the idea for this poelitic. The article may only be available to NY Times on-line subscribers.
Great Again
For two and twenty days Trump’s been the Chief
He’s made us great in ways beyond belief
But not in ways that Trump was want to do
His picks, E.O.s and lies, to name a few
Of matters Trumpean that’s brought about
A renaissance that is, without a doubt,
A wakening of our democracy
RESIST! PERSIST! they’re shouting from the streets
New life, new zest he’s breathed in causes blue
Like feminism, liberalism, too
Like activism, skepticism new
With protests ’round the world to name a few
Obama Care, real climate change and refugees
The Putin, Trump connection, intel inquiries
New vigor in debates and town-hall meets
New audiences for Spicer’s daily briefs
News media now labeling false news
Alternatives-to-facts no longer true
It’s clear Trump’s actions early in his reign
Has turned America to great again
