The "Man of the People" Assumes Power

Great day, eh, the inauguration? Your guy will be here
And there slapping backs and greasing the palms
Of his billionaire friends. Over the ocean, high in
The Alps, more billionaires gather for cocktails
And talk of the things they'll receive in the coming
Four years. Meanwhile, you, with your MAGA hat on,
Wish that someone would help you buy eggs.

I was on my way to my poetry group, giving a lift to a fellow member; and this guy began applauding Trump, as an example of what we should have here (UK). Now I know how Hitler came to power.

There are not as many diatribes about Trump here as I thought there would be. Maybe people are giving up. Not that I pretend to know much about US politics.
