“Something there is that doesn’t like a wall”
The poet, Frost, preempted pundits all
Making the point most politicians know
We’ll build no wall that borders Mexico

Promises made back on the campaign trail
Passing their bills, these promises all fail
Obama-Care and forcing a Muslim ban
Didn’t succeed and really never can

Tax bills won’t pass, Trump surely soon will learn
Not so unless Trump shares his tax returns
Which he will not. With holdings far afield
Conflicts of interest surely would be revealed

First hundred days, little to show for it
Full of conflicts, each day, they never quit
Next hundred days, Trump being Trump of fame
I’d expect most things to end the same

Updated by Rachel on her Friday show
About Trump collusion, more probable now,
Five suspects and counting, there’s more we’ll soon know
All secretly met with some Russians some how

These undisclosed meetings at first were denied
No mention of these on security forms
Withholding such info, they blatantly lied
That’s grounds for confinement to barred entrance rooms

So who are these former Trump-campaign top guns
Who held secret meetings with Soviet Intel
Both during and after elections were run
And why the necessity? Time will soon tell

Let’s start with Jeff Sessions, now General Attorney
Then young Jared Kushner, Trump’s own son-in-law
And, too, Michael Flynn, NSA, ousted early
And, too, Carter Page, whom their goons early saw

Perhaps the most intriguing last-standing man
Is tough Eric Prince now of Blackwater fame
Whose armed mercenaries in Afghanistan
Were having sex orgies which cast us in shame

Just nine days before the Trump crowning took place
Prince, as Trump’s envoy, met most secretly
With Putin’s own envoy; they met face to face
In the Isle of Seychelles, remote as can be

In the Indian Ocean near the African coast
Of course Trump denied all this vehemently so
So why all these meetings? Trump’s name’s turning toast
Looks more like collusion the more that we know

First hundred days
We’d amazed
O’er legislation we’ll be dazed
First: R&R
Of ACA
Then tax reform
It’s on the way
And infrastructure’s
Way ahead
It’s easy, folks
That’s what Trump said
Back on the stump

Those claims of Trump
Are now quite dead
It’s panic mode
So we are told
Must R&R the ACA
A zombie of Trump’s prior bill
Completed by the hundredth day
With Democrats
He’ll make a deal
If they’ll sign on, it’s understood
He won’t defund Planned Parenthood

No way Jose
No Dems will bite
And Reps internally will fight
I think the ACA is safe
And what Trump shows
The hundredth day
Is one for four
Trump got his way
With Gorsuch on the Court Supreme
No major legislation done
It’s been downhill since Trump’s day one

This is for real. It’s not a dream

Rep. Jason Chaffetz quite soon might resign
As Utah’s third district’s strong man in the House
And Oversight Chairman,
The House’s repairman
His reasons for quitting: his children and spouse
If those were true reasons, why leave at this time?

With Trump now as President, oversight’s difficult
Too many conflicts of interest to plow through
Trumpean real estate
Russian collusion-gate
Meanwhile Republican brass though on cue
Did not want his findings to reach true results

But there is an underside lurking behind his move
Rumors of scandal both sexual and fraud
A mistress revealing
By Russian blackmailing
And Ryan and Mitchel, dark money involved
Before this went public he must be removed

It seems those responsible investigators
Whether in Treasury or in the House
Soon will be leaving
Which leaves me believing
That cover-up forces are active about
To mask Trump’s corruption and some legislators

The day before yesterday Tillerson said
Iran is compliant full with the Agreement
Today Trump accused them defaulting instead
Somehow on its spirit. Who knows what Trump meant

Trump further described how it’s all in review
Telling Iran that we might yet back out
I doubt any part of Trump’s rantings is true
But clearly Iran must be harboring doubts

And so must Pyongyang do some wondering too
Is Trump really thinking preemptive attack
Or is Trump just venting as he seems to do?
Meanwhile, Kim’s preparing his next tests, in fact

And when they take place as most surly they’ll try
What’ll be Trump’s response; will he start our next war
Of course without Congress; or let this go by
With stiffening sanctions? Who knows what’s in store

Where do we stand after ninety days Trump
His one real accomplishment: Gorsuch is SCOTUS
It took going nuclear, else he’d been dumped
The ACA R and R fizzled for POTUS

Meanwhile, Trump’s made things much worse now for workers
A litany of safety regs he has abolished
Protecting the company over the worker
All of the regs. that Obama established

Of top rate importance are foreign affairs
A tomahawk message Trump sent off to Syria:
Deploy Sarin gas and we’ll ………. ! be aware
But Syria’s not telling her threshold’s criteria

Then there’s North Korea where we’re near the brink
Of war, likely nuclear, who knows what’s next
All this being managed by those, who you’d think
Knew what they were doing, but seem out of context

And still in the background are investigations
Collusion with Russia by Trump’s top officials
Violations of conflicts-of-interest relations
Trump’s first ninety days certainly have been special

A day or two ago I wrote of Kim Jong Un
”Twas that he wouldn’t test his nuke back then
I thought that tensions would subside, be done
But I was wrong
Our fate is up to two unstable men

It now appears to be a game of bluff
The time for peaceful settlement is past
Each side is demonstrating just how tough
And willing then for war; the world’s aghast

Kim Jong, if he suspects preemptive strikes
Of which Trump talks about within his tweets
He’s likely to take measures not so nice
While Trump’s unwilling to pursue a peace

As I write this there’s great uncertainty
What to expect tomorrow’s world will be

For many people today is most holy
A time of rebirth and of rededication
A time to appreciate all that uniquely
Is ours as bequeathed to us by this great nation

And, too,Mother Earth in her wondrous bounty
From which we all came and to which we’ll return
Smug in our homes in some middle-class county
We take these for granted, so rarely discerned

But responsibilities poke everywhere
By virtue of everything that we receive
The first: know what’s happening, become aware
Then take up positions for what you believe

Know why you believe what you do, what you don’t
Then start being active, politically so
You can make a difference, more clout than vote
A way to pay back for the nurture we know

Jeff Sessions, Dep. Justice, our General Attorney
Is doing his damnedest to deport illegals
Hispanics especially and also blacks
His aim’s to be rid of them, send them all back
He won’t let them stay here; they’re such nasty people
He’ll fracture their families and send moms on journeys

Jeff Sessions, Dep. Justice is brimming with hate
For those whose skin color is other than white
No matter how long or how straight they’ve behaved
Like good US citizens, they won’t be saved
His goon squad will capture them mid day, mid night
With Trump and Jeff Sessions we’re now a police state

A power play is under way toward the North Koreans
To try to stop their testing of a military nuke
Trump’s ploy is to imply preemptive action would be seen
If Kim ignores Trump’s threats as well as China’s strong rebuke

It’s known that Kim has many cannons reachable to Seoul
That he in order short could bring the city down to rubble
It’s also thought that Kim’s unstable; hard to know his goals
And such a threat from Trump could thereby trigger lots of trouble

As I have said before, Kim may be ruthless but not daft
He sees his nukes as his security; no way will he give in
His threat to use them should he be attacked
Has kept the US profile low. A war no one could win

Since Kim must also know that should he open an attack
With all his cannons firing at Seoul
The US would demolish Kim’s regime, responding back
This would be counter to Kim’s basic goals

My feeling is that Kim will stall on this next test
By saying they’ll decide the where and when
And Trump will let this ride, pursuing other quests
And China will apply more pressure then
