In the Pocket (7-1-20)

When Trump speaks, it’s to misinform
Spews out lies in each new tweet storm
To Putin beholden
In lies more emboldened
We cannot let this be the norm
 
Ignored PDB for some reason
Because to him the news was not pleasin’
Either he didn’t read it
Or he didn’t heed it
Either way, our VETS call it treason
 
And we all need to ask ourselves why
About being briefed, would he lie?
And now that he knows,
Still thumbs his nose
And risks having more GIs die?
