These Times in Rhymes: July 2, 2015 (Cuba--Trump--Christie)

--Cuba--
Diplomatic relations with Cuba
Are being established once again.
In 1961 our ties
Were cut and have remained so since then.
 
Our two countries are opening embassies
And easing travel and banking restrictions.
Lifting the trade embargo will be
Much more difficult, according to predictions.
 
While some are not in favor, others
Say that it's time to move forward at last.
See how this works; if things go sour,
It's back to restrictions and back to the past.
 
--Trump--
Macy's, too, has joined NBC
In severing ties with Donald Trump.
Fox News rallied--Are you surprised?--
To defend the comments of their chump.
 
Hannity says he agrees with the man.
Would you expect anything less?
How a person could take either one of them
Seriously is anyone's guess.
 
In a recent interview Trump, by the way,
Praised "traditional" marriage. Of course,
In HIS case it's pretty obvious that he
Is more in favor of "traditional" divorce.
 
--Chris Christie--
This week Chris Christie launched
His 2016 presidential bid.
He's not that well liked in his OWN state,
So whom is Christie trying to kid?
