Welcome to My Poetry Site
Conflict of Interest?
Trump understands neither
The office of the president nor
The Constitution of the U.S.
(Has he ever read it before?)
The office has its precedents,
And the Constitution has provisions
To discourage public officials from taking
Favors and making corrupt decisions.
Trump fails to understand why
The country's Mr. Number One
Cannot serve the American people
From the office where his business is run.
Elected officials cannot benefit
From foreign states in the least.
With Trump's investments worldwide,
His palm can't help but be greased.
He says the U.S. president
Can have no conflicts of interest. Okay.
That sounds exactly like
Something only a dictator would say.
