Writing a dating profile
for the leader of the free world
who resolves every day
to make it less free
is not an easy task
but is nonetheless
worth a shot.
Trump likes his steaks well done
and slathered in ketchup
and his pointless beefs German
with a side
of isolationism
that threatens America's
trustworthiness and reputation
with long-time allies.
He likes his communications directors
quiet and compliant
and his Representatives
violent towards journalists.
The brutal leaders he likes
will not even receive
a slap on the wrist
but at least
he gets them himself
from frustrated spouses.
