Trump’s Lament II

I wrote Trump’s Lament (I) in May of 2016 after Trump became the Republican nominee.

Trump’s Lament II

This is not what I expected
Presidents should be respected
All I hear makes me dejected
They keep treating me unfair
I’m just doing what I promised
Back campaigning, being honest
I recall those days the fondest
Rallying my base with flare

and My base loves me everywhere

Now that I am President
I’m supposed to represent
Even those whom I resent
Like the Press Corps sneaks out there
When fake news of me they post
Scoops from leaks, they like to boast
It’s the Times I hate the most
Getting in my yellow hair

but My base loves me everywhere

Now that Michael Flynn is gone
Stupid, being caught upon
Speaking with the Russians on
Sanctions – there’s no need to care
Now, I’m lost. Within my stable
No one’s there whom I deem able
Dealing with them ‘neath the table
Me, myself, I hadn’t dare

but My base loves me everywhere

I won’t admit that I’m afraid
The F.B.I. has groundwork laid
And access to all phone calls made
But I put Jeffrey Sessions there
To stop investigations short
So they’ll have nothing to report
To fire them is my last resort
So why do I feel such despair?

since My base loves me everywhere
