Paranoia?

Trump thinks that his phones were tapped

During the campaign season.

If that had been the case, there had to

Have been a very good reason.

If intelligence agencies

Did indeed suspect

Questionable activity

Worthy of being checked,

Maybe they did tap his phones.

But James Clapper* denies it.

Another example of Trump crying "Wolf!"?

We know how often he tries it.

Or is it just one more distraction

To steer us away from how

Trump and certain Republican friends

Are screwing us over right now

By talking of vouchers; talking of limiting

Freedom of expression;

And making a mess of health care, which

Has been their constant obsession;

And letting people discriminate

Based on religious convictions--

An insult to equal rights and they
Can see no contradictions. 

Trump's team and Russians have had

Frequent conversations.

Whatever the topics, we know they weren't

Mere congratulations.

Perhaps it's just Trump's paranoia

Coming to the fore.

What started out as a joke isn't

Funny anymore.
