Twitternomics

by James Hamby

Oh, Donald, when you tweet on trade
The Dow goes in a spiral.
Before the markets can recoup,
Your nonsense has gone viral.

See, Donald, every other Prez
Knew how to shut his mouth,
instead of spouting threats on trade
that might send markets south.

I’ve noticed that you’re kind of rich—
Why don’t you buy a clue?
Your uselessness is sadly clear
To everyone but you.
