A President's Retreat

Trump, along with Netanyahu,

Attacked Iran and started a war.

Now the U.S. and the world

Are worse off than they were before.

 

Trump said unconditional

Surrender was the only way

His war would end, and during the conflict

Every day was Groundhog Day.

 

He sounds like a tough guy, huh?

Ah, but this is worth remembering:

Was Trump saying all along

That he would be the one surrendering?

 

Now we have an MOA:

A memorandum of understanding

Between the U.S. and Iran.

Iran is doing the demanding.

 

Sanctions against Iran will be lifted,

Giving it access to world trade.

Iran will also receive from us

Three hundred billion dollars in aid.

 

For sixty days Iran won't charge

Fees for passage through the Strait.

After that, who knows what

Charges the country will contemplate.

 

Again, Iran says it won't

Procure nuclear weapons, but how

Will the country be monitored?

No plan seems to exist right now.

 

The hardliners running Iran

Are stronger now, and they have shown

That they have leverage over us

Because of Trump. Let that be known!

 

We were gaslighted all along.

Information was never clear-cut.

Lives were lost, costs surged,

Economies suffered. All for what?

 

Negotiating instead of bombing

Would have been a better plan.

But once again, Trump screwed up.

What a sorry, pitiful man!
