I awoke long before dawn
Filled with a singular dread
Because, somehow, I knew,
My country had chosen
So poorly

An embarrassment,
A joke,
Very early

That our enemies actually hoped
They'd choose as they did?

But I fear the voters
Who were bedazzled by his lies
And bullshit

They are ripe for a dictator. Let us hope that the man they have chosen is not and can work with other countries in a positive and engaging way.
Fortunately, if Trump doesn't work his promises for, "all of the people," we can vote him out in four years.
The good news is that we have 72 days in which Trump and his lemmings can follow the yellow brick road in search of the land of Oz and more cool aid--and never come back.
This is a political treatise that deals with the China issue from a completely new perspective. Disparaging as he may sound, from page to page, toward "the old system" and the Communist Party's various wiles, the author demonstrates his mysteriously
