post-truth

chief bullshit artist on the global stage
resents the Media who scrutinize
his rhetoric, his numbers, and his rage
presuming to debunk his cherished lies
a virtuoso cultivating hate
sold voodoo economics to his crowd
and ostracized those who'd evaluate
the vapid message he proclaimed so loud
he won among the half who deigned to show
who felt the system'd given them the shaft
a protest ballot, from those beaten low
a bitter joke cast as they wryly laughed
Mike Pence--with all his baggage--waits on tap
'til we're fed up with Trump's incessant crap
