cult of personality

Trump thinks we're stupid, and he might be right
the networks comp him airtime at no fee
he contradicts himself from night to night
and no one calls him on his sophistry
he's in the race to win and not to serve
to be a Rajah or a potentate
we'll get the government that we deserve
if we entrust him  with the Ship of State
the dowager contends that it's her turn
to let the peasants kneel and kiss her ring
as sure as Donald that we're slow to learn
that what we need is neither queen nor king
the State of Nature sketched by Thomas Hobbes
seems scarcely worse than Donald and his mobs
