It Gets Crazier Day by Day

What we have known for a long, long time
More people are starting to see:
Trump is a disastrous choice
For the presidential nominee.

Even more Republican leaders
Question his presidential run
As they watch the man fall apart
And ask, "What the hell have we done?"

Pundits admit that Trump's popularity
Is inexplicable and unprecedented.
But more people are asking whether
The real estate mogul is slightly demented.

He swears he's seen certain events
That never happened. It's mystifying!
Does he truly believe his made-up
Stories or is he simply lying?

He complains about Hillary Clinton
And the problem that she has with trust.
HIS record at telling the truth
Leaves Clinton's record in the dust!

Now he's saying that Clinton tried
To rig the presidential debates.
The truth: Last September a bi-
Partisan team selected the dates.

But will he listen? No, he's stuck
In a fantasyland of gossip and tales.
Every time he speaks you'll find
Republican candidates biting their nails.

Recently the polls have shown
That Clinton's gotten a bit of a boost
While Trump keeps spinning out of control:
The chickens are coming home to roost.

And try to picture Trump having
Access to America's nuclear codes.
The consequences are much too dire.
I hate to imagine what that forebodes.

And, oh, if he loses the election,
Trump has an explanation
As to the reason: a rigged system.
(And not because he's an aberration.)

I struggle to find his positive traits.
Though personally I don't know him,
From what I've seen and heard I wouldn't
Trust him as far as I could throw him.
