Flip-Flopping

Trump’s tariff threatsagainst Canada and Mexicooverwhelm his secondpresidential term. Flip-flopping on the detailsas though it were a game ofMonopoly. Orchestrating a scheme as thoughhe was a comic book villain.Demanding tighter border securityconspiring an economic meltdown. Building on momentumwhile flip-flopping on histargets. Forcing concessionary measureswith little diplomatic customs.Forcing hardships on consumerswhose resources are limited. Causing market fluctuationsas a recession seems imminent. Undermining a Free Trade Agreementwhich he renegotiated while last in office. Boasting of an industrial resurgencedespite the reality of the situation.Promising Americans prosperity ina realm of diversified production. Imposing financial ruin whileflip-flopping on specificdetails. Meanwhile, retaliatory measureshelp erode Republican confidence.Overall certainty of the campaignmay prove the party’s implosion. Flip-flopping from one motivationto another seems like a game ofChance. Perhaps his political will is overshadowedby his uncontrollable, egotistical behaviourto not only dominate American history,but to orchestrate its inevitable downfall. With few viable optionslet’s hope he flips before everythingflops.
