Let's say a foreign government Butcher's a U.S. resident In Istanbul, Turkey, while You're the U.S. president. What's more important to you Is making more money down the line By maintaining business ties That NOT even ****** can undermine. If greed is your primary motive, You'll justify your point of view By asking yourself the following question: What would the current president do? Let's say certain autocrats Make dissenters disappear. You're entranced by how the despots Maintain their power that you hold dear. If power is your primary motive, You'll justify your point of view By asking yourself the following question: What would the current president do? If people desperate for asylum Come to your border seeking relief, And you want to show the heartlessness Of a xenophobic commander in chief, Then show them that your heartlessness Can justify your point of view By asking yourself the following question: What would the current president do? If you want to stop an investigation That possibly looks bad for you, You can obstruct justice by asking, What would the current president do? If you think your unscrupulousness Allows you to break every taboo, You've learned a lot from asking yourself, What would the current president do? -by Bob B (11-21-18)
