Though incomparable to those
of the Muslim solider Humayun Khan
who died in the act
of protecting the lives of his comrades
from a suicide car bomb
to be completely fair
to his own self-assessment
Donald Trump has made plenty of sacrifices
the most notable being
those traits of dignity
honor
grace and poise
as well as even
the loosest grasp on reality
or contrition in the face of wrongdoing
or dumbsaying.
This notable addition
to the pile
may even lead
to Trump voters
sacrificing their right
to make terrible decisions.
