There once was a comedian well-known,
Who flagged the president’s self-own.
With jokes that were biting,
Late Night was exciting,
As the audience laughed with a groan.
There once was a man named Trump
Who added to the National Guard lump
To quell the LA protests
Over immigration arrests
Will it calm down or just jump?
There once was a man named Jason,
Who said with a look of confusion,
“It’s something unexpected,
A story not projected,”
CNN viewers await his conclusion.
There once was a man named Trump’s adviser,
Agreed on privacy, a surprising riser.
With advocates he’d agree,
On civil liberties, you see,
A rare moment of commonizer.
There once was a speaker named Mike,
Who said sending troops was not to his liking,
He didn’t find it heavy-handed,
To send the military to be commanded,
In response to immigration protesting, he liked to be striking.
A president almost took a dive
As up the stairs he did strive
On a Sunday so fine
His balance on decline
But he managed to stay alive
There once was a man named Newsom,
Who refused to be cowed by White House scum.
Threats came his way,
But he stood strong each day,
Defiant and proud, he did hum.
There once was a protest in L.A.
Against Trump’s National Guard display
With Newsom opposing
The troops he was imposing
The city was in disarray
There once was a news anchor so sly,
Trying to make sense of a lie.
The White House press secretary,
Was elusive and wary,
Truth seemed in short supply.
There once was a Trump insider
Who warned of a plan much wider
To “drop the hammer,” he said
With a shake of his head
The billionaire’s nerves grew tighter
