councilor to the deaf

within his sphere, McMaster has no peer
a strategist like few this world has seen
but while McFarland has the Donald's ear
he's merely window-dressing on the scene
inside the WestWing, politics get rough
and Trump hears nothing that's not on TV
he's prone to spinning bullshit off the cuff
and barely rooted in reality
one more adult to sway the Cabinet
that weigh in on Trump's incompetence
a palace coup may salvage something yet
the country's primed to settle for mere Pence
hegemony is always transient
this task's too great for our faux president
