America First II

the neo-Isolationist in charge
proclaimed all things American come first
ignoring Trade's potential to enlarge
his banner policy may be his worst
the Wealth of Nations, Smith explained, is made
by specializing in what you do best
exchanging that abroad, in open trade
for clothing, sustenance, and all the rest
but Trump's a font of certainty and gall
intent on many times his share of pie
safeguarding his estates behind a wall
his speeches lead the Press to think he's high
Protectionism isn't strictly news
Charles Lindbergh preached that it made nations great
and went on to imply that it's the Jews
who drove the Europeans' cult of hate
some hope a coup might elevate Mike Pence
if we're to have a country four years hence
