No. CXXXVIII: Is He Crazy?

New York Magazine: Trump’s Aides Tried to Conceal His Crazy, Racist Beliefs From the Country (Paywall?)

...Trump is a dangerous and erratic figure, and somebody needs to try to steer him away from decisions that would provoke unalterable tragedy.

is he crazy
or is it an act
can he distinguish
a lie from a fact
(Joe Stalin was paranoid
or so they say
and that did not ever
get in his way)
narsiscism plus grandiosity
adds up to extreme bellicosity
does he rant just on a whim
does he think it's about him
craziness maybe
but not to excess
helped contribute to his "success"
Good Lord what a mess
the grownups around him
without doubt
believe they can figure it out
getting on with "what needs to be done"
(were I in their shoes believe me I'd run)
so hard to imagine what lies ahead
and soon or late we'll all be dead
regrettably led by the oblate buffoon
it may be too late to not be too soon
