Interior Monologue

"Distractions, yes! How I love them!

I love to keep the media guessing.

And I can do most anything

And still get my supporters' blessing.

"Wait until they see my budget.

I can hardly contain my laughter.

Crafty convincing will prove we don't

Need the programs I'm going after.

"The EPA? A waste of money.

How easy it will be to arrange

To spend our money on something much

More important than climate change!

"And programs for the needy? Bah!

Important to me is the person who offers

The most discreet methods of placing

Large amounts of cash in my coffers.

"My poorest supporters won’t even see

How badly they are being screwed.

I'll keep blaming the dishonest press

And the Democrats' ineptitude.

"Those making over 250

Thousand dollars a year deserve

More in the way of tax breaks for they

Are the supporters I aim to serve.

"I don’t care if kids go hungry.

The rich and poor and in-between

Will benefit more if we direct funds

Into our giant war machine.

"I'm beside myself with joy.

I'm the expert. I'm so good

At making people think I give

A damn about their livelihood.

"The poor, the kids, the elderly,

People needing jobs…ALL

Will be so much better off

After I build my towering wall.

"I need my weekends at Mar-a-Lago.

It's there where I can clear my head.

Will three million dollars of taxpayer money

Per weekend put us in the red?

"It's great how you can manipulate

The people by making up facts and lies.

Most of them don't even know

You're pulling the wool over their eyes."
