His smarmy tongue waggles,
weaving glowing gossamers, clouding hearts and minds
with mists of glittering unreason.
His garbled glossolalia
explains inexplicable,
defends indefensible,
justifies vast injustices.
Before his words, miasmas
of fecund decay shift,
begins to resemble aromas
of lavender and roses.
Venomously,
crass caresses
of slimy snake oil
conceal cuts of serrated steel.
Hope and reason succumbs
to resignation and despair.
Luminous hope drowns struggling
in seas of gilded sludge.
As growing thick dark shrouds
envelop all, he pauses,
draws breath, smiles.
In that instant his spells shatter!
Plug your ears, Ulysses!
There are no second chances.
Aroil in Pain 
Great poem. His antics are simply jaw dropping.

I suspect this will be a watershed moment in history. I think it will prove to serve as either an indictment of or a testament to the wisdom of the American Constitutional Government and it’s bold experiment into checks and balances, divided government, and balance of power. I fear the former and pray for the latter!!

You might be right, but this is not an American constitutional problem alone, we are suffering similar constitutional crises over EU exit and the many layers of intolerance that led up to the referendum vote and result. other European countries are experiencing similar constitutional problems. The far right have a lot to answer to.

Very true! I view this trend as the last desperate graspings of frightened adherents to a failed ideological perspective struggling to save themselves from irrelevance.

The issue for the US system is will it be strong enough to weather the storm of this presidency without shattering.
