trump is lurching like a loose cannon Denying evidence and logic he separates language from meaning When Bait and Switch is his chief project Those xenophobic fires he’s fannin’ Spatters his word salad recklessly Like a loose cannon This conman sold some a bill of goods With gibberish worse than Tinnitus Propaganda by steve bannon An alternate universe naked Like a loose cannon

Like a Loose Cannon
trump is lurching like a loose cannon Denying evidence and logic he separates language from meaning When Bait and Switch is his chief project Those xenophobic fires he’s fannin’ Spatters his word salad recklessly Like a loose cannon This conman sold some a bill of goods With gibberish worse than Tinnitus Propaganda by steve bannon An alternate universe naked Like a loose cannon
This is the Rondine form, with #12 lines- #7 in 1st stanza, #5 in the last; 7th and 12th lines are a refrain from the opening line.  My take on the pressured, incessant, thoughtless speech coming from trump-so embarrassing for our country & dangerous for the whole world.
