“How Trump’s Homeland Security Pick, a Prolific Investor, Got a Lot Wealthier in Congress”
—The New York Times

As Senate members go, there’s none much dumber,
Yet Mullin’s mighty rich for just a plumber,
A grifter deeply steeped in Trump’s tradition
Of dealings guaranteed to spawn suspicion.
Did inside trading fuel his fine portfolio?
There’s more to see, we know, in this imbroglio.
