unAmerican

the policies that Stephen Miller wrought
betray key values we've held ages long
still, that's the deal Republicans have bought;
so far, they stick to Trump although he's wrong.
His mother was a Scottish immigrant
who came with empty hands, to make a life
but our amnesiac unpresident
denies the provenance of his own wife.
Those "huddled masses, yearning to be free"
must be disowned, now that the Trumps got in
if still Melania shows sympathy
Trump makes exceptions just because she's kin.
Dog-whistles to the basest of his base
circumlocute, but correlate with race.
