The book by anonymous is worth the read
He/She’s staunch Republican, there is no doubt
Observing the President, this book’s about,
As viewed from within, Donald’s words, Donald’s deeds
The book’s anonymity off-puts some people
If one’s so dissatisfied one should resign
The fact one is hiding shows weakness of spine
Be all that as may, the book’s contents’ aren’t feeble
I’ll not, here, review the book; rather I’ll focus
On what he/she wrote about Trumpian addiction
By many Republicans voicing Trump’s fictions
While knowing they’re Trump’s typical hocus-pocus
As such, Trump Apologists come in two flavors:
The first are the Sycophants, Trump true believers
The second are labeled Trump’s Silent Abettors
Both publicly praise him and curry his favor
But what’s the attraction, what binding toxicity?
It’s Power, it’s Fear, and it’s Tribal group loyalty
Sycophants discount Trump’s constant inanities
Stature and access they gain by proximity
But worse are Abettors who know right from wrong
Ignoring their ethics for temporal gain
It’s in their self interest to not Trump disdain
For fear of reprisals; Trump’s venom is strong
At besting Republicans Trump has succeeded
This may be the start of the Party’s demise
Should Trump win it’s likely democracy dies
As such it’s imperative Trump be defeated
He/She ends the book with a plea to the Dems
To put forth a candidate for this election
That anti-Trump Reps could make as their selection
Not one that is viewed as too far to the left
