This is not a test. Giraffe.
Lion. Alligator. Bear.
This is not a golden calf.

Trump’s not saying “I don’t care.”
This is not a rambling rant.
Lion. Alligator. Bear.

Tucker’s not a sycophant.
Trump is not the Antichrist.
This is not a rambling rant.

Grift. Extortion. Hijack. Heist.
This is conflict, not a war.
Trump is not the Antichrist.

Two plus two is five, not four.
This is not a Vietnam.
This is conflict, not a war.

Billions. Ballroom. Bombast. Bomb.
This is not a golden calf.
This is not a Vietnam.
This is not a test. Giraffe.
