A Christmas poem - “Twas The Night Before Trump”.

Fellows, the holidays are almost upon us. This happens to be my very favorite time of the year. I look forward to it all year long every year. With that said, there is nothing more enjoyable than a good Christmas song, story or poem to set the mood. 
I would like to share a Christmas poem with all of my good, God fearing, conservative, Christian friends out there. I wish all of you a safe and Merry Christmas. I hope you enjoy this heart felt poem my friends. 

              “Twas The Night Before Trump”
             A Conservative Christmas Poem. 
Twas the night before Inauguration, and up in the tower,
The Donald reflected on his newfound power.
The conservative masses had come out in force,
And delivered a victory that would chart a new course.

The snowflakes were shell-shocked with tears in their eyes,
The media lied to them . . . What a surprise.
They had been promised a Hillary win,
But the criminal Clinton took one on the chin.

And though from all corners celebrities flew,
They made no impression, for they hadn’t a clue.
They talked about climate, racism, and such,
And they made up good stories . . . But didn’t know much.

The fake news and ignorance came at a cost,
And they can’t understand all the reasons they lost.
They blame it on Comey and Bernie and Vlad,
But fail to acknowledge the one that was bad.

Yes, Hillary Clinton, in many ways flawed,
Was her own biggest hurdle toward getting the nod.
The campaign exposed her corruptness and greed,
And her speeches were punch-less as ten dollar weed.

So out in the streets there arose such a clatter,
It was Soros-paid protestors and Black Lives Matter.
With cities to pillage and windows to smash,
They knew not the issues, but needed the cash.

Eight years of Obama had given them cause,
To expect a replacement of their Santa Claus.
But soon the protestors will feel the pain,
When the wheels fall off of the old gravy train.

And now all the snowflakes are riddled with fear,
Upset and offended by things that they’ll hear.
The cocoa and crayons will help for a while,
But fact-based opinions will soon cramp their style.

I originally supported, and voted, for Cruz,
In the end, I would vote for whoever they choose.
He wasn’t my first choice, but soon I would cede,
The one they call Trump is the one that we need.

I saw him on TV in front of a crowd,
He spoke about veterans, it made me feel proud.
He spoke about energy, safety, and jobs,
Taking this country back from the Washington snobs.

He was dressed in Armani, all tailored and neat,
And the Brunos he wore made the outfit complete.
For a man of his vintage, he seemed rather fit,
And he looked presidential, I have to admit.

His eyes glowed like embers, his smile was the best,
And his hair was the color of my old hunting vest.
His love for this country was on full display,
And his actions spoke louder than his words could say.

He thanked all his voters, and before he was gone,
Saved thousands of jobs while Obama looked on.
The fate of this country left nothing to chance,
So, he filled out his cabinet weeks in advance.

The men he had chosen were of the same mind,
Let’s set the bar high, and not lead from behind.
He picked up his phone as he rose from his seat,
With a flick of his finger, he sent out this tweet;
“Now Mattis!, now Kelly!’ now Sessions! And Pruitt!
On Perry! On Flynn, You’re the ones who can do it.
Start lifting restrictions and building the wall,
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”;

The roar of his audience rose from the stands,
He kissed all their babies and shook all their hands.
He answered their questions and calmed all their fears,
They knew it would be a fantastic four years.
Then he jumped in his limo, and off to his jet,
A fellow that Liberals won’t soon forget.
He sent one more tweet as the evening expired;
“Happy Inauguration to all,
AND OBAMA – YOU’RE FIRED!”

    Thank you brother Trim. I’m pretty passionate about songs and poems myself. Just a heads up, I have written a new Christmas song that I will be posting soon. Just got to finish the last verse. Keep an eye out for it. It will be titled “Glory, Glory Trumpelujah”.

    if your defense is that you are making more money under trump than you ever did, it's because you are in an industry that receives government assistance
    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think that the government is giving Exxon/Mobil any assistance. If you know something that we don’t, then please, share it with us. The 86 billion profit this year came from upstream discoveries. Not from the government. But if you can prove me wrong, I will gladly stand corrected with hat in hand.

    no intelligent person still believes in that idiot. 

    Anyone still on his side is a:

    -Republican senator (worried about irritating the uneducated hillbillies in his gerrymandered district)

    -benefiting directly (as in, on a payroll or on staff). See: fox news (except maybe Tucker Carlson, who is jumping ship); Dana Boetsch (NRA); Don Jr., Ivanka, and their even dumber brother Eric.

    -a witless Evangelical 

    -or is an obese unemployed white man on disability from a red state and receiving more government support than anyone in a blue state (including brown homeless people) ever did 

    other than that, sure

    if your defense is that you are making more money under trump than you ever did, it's because you are in an industry that receives government assistance

    because those of us who aren't receiving republican or democrat handouts, work hard and make a living regardless of the idiot in office

    and trump is the single biggest idiot who ever occupied that office. 

    But for most of the demographic on this forum, it's still better than being brown or female. 

    Also. 

    Merry Xmas!

    PS: Just being a provocateur

    but i am not too stupid to know that you did well under Obama and Clinton, that your forum character is a bit different than your real life persona, that you are also a provocateur, and that you aren't as ignorant or beholden to the "white southern bible thumper" cartoon character as you pretend to be

    perpetuating the divide is reprehensible 

    but anyone can do it. 

    Would be better if people weren't so partisan, sure. But some of you really don't have any other thing to offer than that. 

    This really used to be a much more less fruitcakier place.

    Nothing more to be said here than Trump fired Rex Tillerson.  I believe he had quite a hand in the Exxon/Mobil enterprise.  FWIW-
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    Trump fired Tillerson because he was crook. All CEO’s are crooks. Trump, being the honest man that he is would not stand for such shenanigans.

    So you’re saying that crooks run Exxon?  Well, now you are sharing some original poetry, my friend.

    Yes sir he was. He was also probably the only honest CEO ever. He walks the straight and narrow and speaks only the truth.
