American Barbarism … or what’s good for American business … or Trump shares some words.

I believe very strongly in very, very crystal clear, clean water and clean air. That’s a big part of climate change. — Trump, 11/03/19.

And with that simple affirmation

of a basic banality

which only begs

the question

so to speak

of yes …

& then? …

as we await

the next moment & thought

of diamond-piercing-profundity …

while millions upon millions of folks …

different than him and his base

so heck …

who gives a damn …

face displacement,

loss of livelihood,

starvation,

struggle, sorrow, loss and tragedy …

oh but wait …

the melting ice caps

provide an opportunity

for new sea routes

for business,

sayeth Pompeo

that other inspiring

human at the helm …

as laws and protections

take the shackles

from business,

as the man

who loves clean air

& water,

poisons,

decimates,

& slouches idly by,

oh lord …

immorality & Republican barbarism.
