Bolton identifies himself as a hawk

And a quick withdrawal would make him squawk.

The new conditions he is imposing

Should in fact make for a much better closing.

Too bad Donnie’s impulsive approach

Brought collateral damage and reproach.

To build or not to build, that is the question.

What ‘tis nobler, or easier for digestion?

Perhaps more relevant, what is the goal?

National security or strength at the poll?

A wall does no good, is the expert consensus.

But it sure diverts focus from all other offenses.

A new year rings in and questions abound.

Like who in the Cabinet will still be around,

Or which of the tyrants will remain in favor,

And will the stock market continue to waiver,

Will Mueller make the rollercoaster stop

Come a year from now at the next ball drop?

The year closes out on this day,

With love and hate still on display.

Somewhere the message must have been crossed.

Because the Golden Rule is certainly lost.

It’s hard to imagine it was God’s plan

To condemn anyone for loving a man.

Gallup ranked him our nation’s man most admired.

Just one slot behind is the voice of “You’re fired!”

Every year Number One has put out a list

Of favorite books and artists, you get the gist.

Hard to imagine the same from Number Two.

“Hey, here’s what I look at when on the loo!”

Gotta hand it to Vladimir Putin

He’s world class when it comes to lootin’.

Whatever the danger or the threat

He finds a clever way to flip and abet.

Donnie of course wants to be likewise blessed

Which explains being besties with Kanye West.

Mad Dog Mattis is wise and seasoned

His worldview shaped by experience and reason.

Allies and morals are what create power

So we’re now heading into a very dark hour.

Donnie dismisses both of these on a whim

Our generals have spoken: chance of victory is slim.

So Donnie’s longtime pal and trusted advisor

Joins forces with InfoWars to create a geyser

Of lies and defamation against a Chinese guy

Who apparently triggered his wrath just by

Putting Beijing’s corruption on public notice.

But there’s NO WAY he would lie for the POTUS!

This dude is sooo good with catchy phrases

And nicknames for things he hates and praises.

But Donnie is doing as Donnie has done –

Anything he wants since he has won!

People were hopeful he’d open the drain.

But seems everyone’s in it for their own gain.

A bone spur kept Don home from war

But not from playing golf galore.

He loves and hates the military hero –

His own service? That’s a zero.

He put four Generals on the Cabinet.

Then reacted like the same pole of a magnet.
