Smoot-Hawley reprised

The devastation Trumpty Dumpty's wrought
to implement Navarro's crackpot scheme,
discounts the human traits that can't be bought;
he's never built a friendship, nor a team.
America Alone! Like Mao TseTeng
determined to hold all the world at bay
at once, the global commerce web's unstrung.
And voters Red and Blue are gonna pay.
A grownup might concede he'd got it wrong,
but Cohn had trained him always to attack.
Determined to present himself as "strong",
what once he's said, he helpless to take back.
As if the universe ends at our shore
the orange dotard lists towards civil war.
