Trumps’s Report Card: Early Warning Signs of Fascism
National Holocaust Museum Washington DC
A report Card on Donald J Trump after 60 days
- Powerful and continuing nationalism
What can be worse
Than America First?
And the vile Muslim ban
Signifies a grand plan - Disdain for human rights
Racist provocation was an underlying theme
And his election to the Klan a beautiful dream - Identifying enemies as a unifying cause
Unfair is a constant refrain
Today it’s the press
Yesterday the CIA
And Bannon’s Muslim hate
Is based on the “Camp of The Saints” screed
So vile to you I would not read - Supremacy of the military
Civilian control of the military is a tradition
The violation of which can lead to perdition
For hero worship
Can lead to military dictatorship
One general noting Trumps chaos has stated
What has not been said before:
Subtly warning that we are at war.
Trump has four generals of dubious acumen
As one we know botched a raid in Yemen - Rampant sexism
With Trumps pussy snatching history
It remains to me a puzzling mystery
How sanctimonious Christians
Justify their Trump addiction - Controlled mass media
Trump has launched a war against the press
Excoriating them as liars
And the NY Times the paper of record
Is a Failing paper as he sows discord
And on the campaign cleverly
He turned to the press and incited contempt
So that some were fearful for their safety
And by branding the media as “fake news”
He is assuring his follower’s believe only his views - Obsession with national security
Increasing the military budget is an economic move
But securing our borders will be hard to improve
And raids as in Yemen- it’s been said before
Create facilely enemies galore - Corporate power protected
One thing we can surely say
His programs for business are a give-away - Labor power suppressed
Clearly his agenda includes
Right to Work Laws
The intent of which is to dilute
The power of unions to progress - Disdain for intellectuals and the arts
The destruction of the Bon-Wit sculpture
Demonstrates he is a culture vulture
And his anti-intellectualism and anti-science is a pathetic joke
As to him global warming is a Chinese hoax - Obsession with crime and punishment
And Trump’s acronymic VOICE program’s not intelligent
Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement
A registry of immigrant crime reminiscent of a prior time
The Nazi publication of so called Jewish crime
And Trump’s embellishment is bizarre and most chilling
The addition of Muslim honor killing
A crime so rare that Trump’s only intent
I s anti Muslim sentiment to foment.
So this is my appraisal after about 60 days That Trump for incipient Facism deserves an “A”
