The Mango Moron Cries
Wolf
“There’s a good
chance we’ll have to declare a national emergency to build the wall.”
Cheeto-in-Chief
hysterically tweets
about
renegade caravans.
His
threats to declare
a
national emergency to fund a wall
are
the equivalent of crying “Squirrel!”
then
watching distracted heads turn.
Craving
the next drama,
he
blusters, exaggerates, lies,
draws
down troops from Syria,
reverses
successful Obama programs,
rips
up mutually beneficial agreements,
betrays
allies by withdrawing from treaties.
As
Rome burns to the ground,
Faux
News trots out agent provocateurs
to
shock, enrage, entertain.
Television
talking heads
dictate
policy, hijack attention,
tails
wagging the dog.
