The Cost of Its Price
(in a "Non-Standard" 14-line Sonnet style:)
AAAA BBBB CCCC DD

It's D-Day, "D" for "Donald," as Trump Toadies say.
"Trump" means a special card in games that gamblers play.
Most of the world just hopes that Trump would go away,
find someone else with money and then make them pay.
D-Day means dead and dying bodies on a beach,
a lesson that mere history just cannot teach
to those who stretch for narrative beyond their reach
when those with working brains would Donald Trump impeach.
Some might respond that that’s been done two times before,
which doesn’t mean it should not happen one time more.
But add conviction and removal to the score
and World opinion would no doubt this fact adore.
"D-Day" is when the World Supply of oil on hand
Falls far short of what many know as World Demand.

Scott Bessent of Trump's Treasury finds it surprising
that when Demand exceeds Supply the Price keeps rising.
It might seem strange to some that this is who's advising
our current President known for the facts despising.
Manipulating markets seems the proper framing.
On Friday, bad news: "We will crush them" (us proclaiming).
On Monday, good news: "We're in talks" (without them naming).
And so, "Buy Low Sell High" turns out the best remaining
admission of our government's insider trading.
Corruption, brazen thievery, and all cascading
past any limits. D-Day means The Dumb Dissuading
each other from the thought that Trump's not all-pervading.
And so, Trump and his Toadies can their nonsense prattle
while we observe them stealing from each losing battle.
