Fake News Poem by The Trumpoet

Fake News



Donald Trump has frequently claimed
the mainstream media's got to be blamed
for always trying to make him lose
by spreading vicious, vile fake news.

So just a moment, we shall take,
to list some news that's surely fake.

The inaugural crowd was the biggest of all
(not according to photos that day on the mall) .
Three million votes were cast fraudulently
(without any proof of such conspiracy) .

The murder rate's highest in 45 years
(but there are no crime stats supporting such fears) .
Many terror attacks the press failed to report
(past coverage provides a convincing retort) .

So Donald, it seems that the tack that you take
is, if news doesn't favor you, it must be fake.
Fake news does surround us, that much is so true.
Such a shame that so much of it's coming... from you!

Are you asking the age-old philosophical question, what is reality? Certainly, one person's truth may be very different from another's. I just try to concentrate on facts that can be verified from numerous, reliable sources (as opposed to alternative facts) .
