Trumpelthinskin

Trump seems compelled to self-mythologize
as if assertions build reality
but journalists who shine light on his lies
are strictly kept outside his coterie
by his account, the sun shines when he speaks

'though all the audience is getting soaked
it doesn't take a source of inside leaks
to see he doesn't know whereof he spoke
a skin so thin's no barrier at all
against the awkward facts slung from all sides
the sniper who long crouched behind a wall
now takes high office, with no place to hide
an egoist consumed with looking big
can't bear to think the world knows he's a pig
