Trump's On the Stump--Losers Beware

Today, it became official and Sir Donald is officially on the presidential stump

Long speech sometimes off the cuff, laced with Obama/Clinton/Kerry acts he would dump

So much for Reagan’s 13^th Commandment, some of his Red opponents were hit with the loser label

But in 45 minutes he attacked the decline of America  and why 4 more years of Obama like policies we must not enable

Running for President and being President are not like negotiating a business deal

One can only wonder if at 69 this is a reality show ego trip or like Perot a quest quite real

One thing is for certain from his announcement speech

The Chinese who hold too much of our debt must know he has an anti Chinese feeling in main street reached

That country has stolen our IP, manipulated its currency, increasing its military to the U.S. vital interests contest

Hacked into our nation’s privacy data in increasing trends it refuses to arrest

We have not had a cowboy image since Reagan caused the Iranians to shit in their pants

And to the Russians threw the gauntlet down to star war them into poverty to their dreams of domination supplant

Maybe the Chinese rightfully feel

That after years of Obama like wimp, a new sheriff in town with a backbone of steel

The scion of Brooklyn who buildings he obviously knows how to build and with tenants fill

Just may be the voice in the wilderness to impose upon the world an end to the trends that our jobs continue to be killed

This poet’s only fear is that to negotiate to win the cards must be held close to the vest

Be it Red, Blue or Trump any thoughts of nontransparency we must as voters demand the candidates divest
