Standing behind him,
you’re in heaven.
Not even praying
feels as righteous
as adoring him.
The rapture of knowing
the cameras will show you
nodding and smiling
thrills you and your wife
(in her Women for Trump tee)
more than making love.
There’s no explaining
the joy of cheering on
his cheerless babble
but it sure beats thinking.
And, oh, yes, you’re exercising
your lethal right to loathe
the losers he derides.
