We are running a terribly unwise experiment: What happens when you replace U.S. presidential leadership with the slapstick antics of a clown?
-- Eugene Robinson
Comparing politicians to the noble circus clown
Is slander pure and simple -- it would make a jurist frown.
Equating Donald Trump with Weary Willy is a crime
For which the guilty party ought to serve some real hard time.
For clowns with all their slapstick are at heart such gentle souls;
You can sense it neath the costumes of their merry roles.
They champion the downcast and wield cap and bells to hold
Back the tide of misery that comes from prude and scold.
A politician wreathes his face in smiles as cheap as tin;
His heart is but a weathervane, his courage mighty thin.
A clown exhibits truth that leaves us rolling in the aisles,
While politicians cheat us with their patriotic wiles.
