A Devastating Hurricane: Donald Trump’s State of the Union Speech
/A poem by President Donald Trump
(merely excerpted, edited, and arranged by Benjamin Gorman)
A people asked their President for a status update.
He said,
(Not shitting you. All his words.)
he said,
“A new tide of optimism was already sweeping across our land.
A devastating hurricane.
Hail of gunfire
took a bullet, almost died
a safe, strong, and proud America
bombs in civilian hospitals
detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay
slashing,
old, broken
cruel
disastrous
A devastating hurricane.
Walls of flame
the graves of our great heroes
want to be where the action is
precious girls were brutally murdered
murder
A devastating hurricane.
A pregnant, homeless woman preparing to inject heroin
severely wounded by an explosion
inserted a tube to reopen an airway
horribly injured and on the verge of death
a train ran over his limbs
endured multiple amputations
ate dirt, permanently stunting their own growth
Building a great wall
tortured
traveled thousands of miles on crutches.
A devastating hurricane.
Extinguish
from the face of the Earth
American heart, American hands, and American grit
their corrupt dictatorship
depraved character
menace that threatens our world
a special place called America
tortured to death
always serve American interests
that is what Americans have always stood for,
always strived for, and always done
A devastating hurricane.
Depraved character
corrupt dictatorship
what the regime fears the most — the truth.
Thank you,
and God bless
America.”
