      Thanks VJ, I have added another verse just so I can use the word “rhodomontade”!

   And his supporters call anyone who opposes him a gaslighting narcissist. The irony! Great poem. I had to look up Rhodomontade!

   OK, you made me smile this morning. Certainly not out of any sense of allegiance to Trump or suggesting he is even smile-worthy. But because your last line, in my mind, is perfect! Of course, then there’s the absolutely frightening aspect of him as well.

   You’re too kind, JIM. He warrants much worse but these will do for now. Stay tuned and you’ll have another opportunity.
