revanchism

The Haitians found Trump's "shithole" crack uncouth
so Mueller found a present at his door.
Financial records document the truth
of what TrumpTower condos had sold for.
To launder rubles for the Oligarchs
or ill-got gains for the Duvaliers
while making sure the watchdog never barks
was standard protocol in pay-to-play.
Post-bankruptcy, most banks gave him a pass;
his creditors owned all he'd had to hock.
To make the grade, when he'd run out of gas,
Trump sold his charms to thugs like Baby-Doc.
Corruption clings; one can't scrub off the stench
in Trump's bad English, or in Creole French.
