My thumbnail sketch of yesterday was negative I’d say
Be that as may, I’ll concentrate on positive today
Not just grass roots re energized, but things where Trump has changed
Away from Trump back on the stump where oft he seemed deranged
The former Trump was super smart; he knew more than all experts
But now he’ll seek and take advice; decisions take more effort
He’s changed positions o’er these days on weighty policies
On Russian sanctions, Cuba, and our Israel Embassy
Iran Agreement, NAFTA, and one-China policy
The E-I Bank, and China playing games with currency
He’s wavering about the Paris Climate Change Accord
I think he’ll let it stand or face a risk he can’t afford
The office of the President has changed unalterably
Taboos once violated don’t return to normalcy
What once were measured words have gained in spontaneity
And nepotism’s riding high involving Family
‘Though Trump maintains the secrecy of all his business deals
Substantive info on his calls abroad he won’t reveal
He’s very open on his thoughts. He tweets them every day
He knows to dominate the news each day by what he says
I quoted David Brooks, before, on Trump’s abilities
They’ve grown from catastrophic to inadequate you see
There’s clearly been some progress, we do hope there’s more to come
And that is my nail sketching on my thumb’s opposing thumb
