Trumpty Dumpty falls off his wall

Trumpty Dumpty sat on his wall.
Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Neither Russian enablers
Nor Republican hacks
Could put Trumpty Dumpty together again.

A collaberation of Melvyn and Janet Magree.  That’s collaberation on this bit of doggerel.  We didn’t push Trumpty Dumpty.  This was from 2016!

And just when you think you have something original, you find that many others had a similar idea.  My first inkling was finding Trumpty Dumpty' and Other Trump Poems | HuffPost https://www.huffingtonpost.com/orel-protopopescu/trumpty-dumpty_b_9500428.html. This was from 2016!  And if you do a web search, you will find dozens of references more, including T-shirts.

I am smarter than Donald Trump

I know that I can’t govern the country by my every whim.

I also know that many leaders of other countries are not ready to dance to the tune of the American piper.  Especially since the American piper hasn’t gotten rid of the rats in high places.

Majority rules...

...but only if the majority votes.

Too many votes are decided by too small a portion of the eligible voters.

I thought of this because of the misnamed Freedom Caucus and Tea Party.

We have the freedom to govern ourselves, not to do as we please without any consideration of other people.

We have the ability to tax ourselves with representation instead of by some government we have no right to vote for.

Would it better to call the Freedom Caucus and the Tea Party anarchists?
