Well of course it is!

Of course it’s a Muslim Ban
when Muslim countries are
affected & 1.5 billion folks 
perceive it to be so,

 

& of course it’s mocking the disabled
when you pull your arms to your waist 
& wave your wrists & use a shaky
trembling voice while looking skyward,

& of course when you talked about the “Second
Amendment People” taking out Hillary Clinton 
if she won you were talking an assassination
threat, the words are there aren’t they,

 

& of course it was unforgivable & beyond,
just beyond the pale where you tried to
deflect the criticism of the grieving Khan 
family by insulting the silent mother from
your glorious podium,

 

& of course when you quipped “It’s freezing
& snowing in New York, we need global warming”
you were laying bare the intellectual wasteland
that is your mind & the threadbare grasp on vital
realities that is your worldview,

 

& of course when you talked of “fairly credible 
sources” telling you of Obama’s birth certificate
being a fraud you were simply making shit up 
in your fraudulent salesman mode but this time 
were in way too deep by promoting this vicious
ethically void racist bullshit,

 

& of course when you said “you can never be too
greedy” you mean it with your gold crapper in
your gold bathroom, & your gold stroller, for your
golden progeny, & your huge this, & so big that,

 

& of course when you said of 9/11 that in Jersey
“thousands of people were cheering” you were
lying your ass off & appealing to the basest 
elements of human nature of anger, revenge
& blame,

 

& of course when you declined to condemn David
Duke & there KKK you knew exactly what you were doing
as you put forth the trembling hand of friendship to American
White Supremacists so’s you'd let them know you were one
of them & they could count on you & please vote for me, you
were planting that evil & sordid flag weren’t you,

 

& of course you are unfit to govern, lack a basic intelligence, 
decency, spirituality, a grasp of fundamental principles of right
& wrong, & are a con-man, a spiv, a snake-oil salesman, all
these … of course you are … & we’re stuck with you.
