Red Meat

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool,
The President Donald J. Trump $1 Coin,
The Arc de Trump,
The White House State Ballroom —

All feats of greatness!

The Iran War,
The loss of life
And limb of U.S. Troops,
of Iranian civilians,
of Ukrainians and Russians,
Soaring gas prices,
Economically destructive tariffs,
Separating innocent children from parents,
Ignoring due process, ignoring Federal law —

All small potatoes
