The Golden Bard



Have you noticed that Donald Trump, in his unmatched mastery of words, is particularly fond of “poetic” devices? Anaphora, internal rhyme, alliteration, hyperbole—and, of course, lots of good old repetition? Here’s his latest political “insight,” cast as a free-verse poem. Isn’t it awesome?


“Not Doing Too Well” (by Donald Trump)

“Biden is going
To do things
That nobody ever
Would ever
Think even possible.
He’s following the radical
Left Agenda
Take away
Your guns,
Destroy
Your Second Amendment.
No religion,
No anything.
Hurt the Bible.
Hurt God.
He’s against guns.
He’s against energy.
Our kind of energy.
I don’t think he’s going to do
Too well 
In Ohio.
He’s not going to
Do well.”
