The first time in history
Say several sources
A president hadn’t
Visited armed forces
~
A millionaire and his wife,
Shamed mercilessly
Did what they should have done,
Disproportionately
The Donalds visited troops
On deployed stay
The timing was obvious,
Late Christmas Day
An extra push came
With news of a doctor who
Played a part in a story
We already knew
~
Trump dodged the Vietnam draft
Claimed nonexistent…
Bone spurs, the doctor lied
For favors requisite
Bone Spur Doc’s Daughter: Dad Wrote Trump Diagnosis as a Favor
On a whim Trump flew
To Germany and Iraq
Ending troop avoidance
Came with some aftershock
~
Iraq’s Prime Minister was angered,
Most of all
Donald Trump’s visit
Violated protocol
~
Iraq demands Trump withdraw troops,
All 5000
Three hours spent in Iraq—
Politically spouting
Lies:
“You have not had a pay raise in 10 years. I got you that raise. Some people wanted it to be less, some said 2% some said 3%. I said NO, I WANT 10%.”
In Fact, troops have received
Annual pay raises
For over 30 years
Trump lied to their faces
~
This year’s increase
Was the same as rates in the past
2.6%, not 10%
Trump’s bad math
Trump treated the trip
Like a rally, critically
Ranting, signing hats
Wasn’t this a holiday?
~
One officer photographed
With a flag in hand
American? No.
Political banners are banned
Her reaction implies
She knows of the decree
Politics are banned
On bases military
“Active duty personnel may not engage in partisan political activities.” ~ DoD Directive 1344.10
The visit, propaganda
Opportunistic
A stunt, photo op,
Politically fascistic

Troops donned gear:
Chest rigs, helmets, night vision goggles,
To pose in a cafeteria
It boggles

There is one last item
I thought I would mention
Trump outed Seal team 5
Without comprehension
He tweeted their names,
Photos, and their location
Alarmingly stupid
By all estimation
A lot from Lydia
