Ms. Maddow interpreted Trump’s choice of adjectives
Mainly when tweeting against adversaries
As something unique, largely using superlatives
Grossly abhorrent, the meanings they carry
All politicians, she notes, seek attention
They often achieve it by off-the-wall statements
But Trump uses language that others won’t mention
Crude, lewd and despicable meets his intents
It’s not just to punish his latest detractor
He captures attention like moths to a flame
His penchant for doing this is second nature
Diverting news coverage where he’s being blamed
Since Trump only values the Trump family
When tweeting his nastiness full publicly
The fact that he sullies the Presidency
He displays no concern most emphatically
So how does one handle the news of the day
Where news of importance needs Press Corps attention
Then Trump throws a stink-grenade into the fray
Diverting the Press from events in contention
My answer is simple, it really would work
Whenever Trump’s diatribes partake of dirt
The Press should ignore it; it comes from a jerk
This lack of attention will Trump the most hurt
