post-truth

Now, Giuliani grants his client lied;
the cash Mike Cohen fronted was a loan.
And structuring those payments failed to hide
the motives for the gag were Donald's own.
A legal team retained in cash, upfront
as if to face a jury of his peers
bizarre extravagance for a "witch-hunt"
Bob Mueller's not the sum of Donald's fears.
Bold victim of his own mendacity
forgets mid-sentence whom he'd meant to trick.
Bald liar with imperfect memory
inevitably steps on his own dick.
Twelve lawyers vowed they'd never* drop his guard.

*until the day Trump's hoist by his petard.
