They let you grab them by the what?

In defence they argued

that they were electing a leader,

not a school teacher.

I ponder how many Tic Tacs 

it would take to induce

any women to kiss you?

You claim magnetism,

true you attract and repulse,

though gold is a good conductor.

After you meteoric fall,

your base holds firm, I

argue with men online.

About how not all

compliments are flattering,

like cat calls or casual sexual assault.  

Today's prompt, begin by reading June Jordan’s “Notes on the Peanut.” Now, think of a person – real or imagined – who has been held out to you as an example of how to be of live, but who you have always had doubts about. Write a poem that exaggerates the supposedly admirable qualities of the person in a way that exposes your doubts.

While I'm not sure that I ever found any admirable qualitites for Trump, this is where the poem went.  I think most of the admirable qualities he is alleged to possess and pretty much "fake news".
