Cancel This Transaction
To Trump, all politics is transactional, we know,
But he’s reached a level that’s an all-time low.
Trump promises oligarchs tit for tat.
To businesses, he offers this for that,
For Trump, it’s always: “Give me your quid and name your pro quo.”

Congresspersons are pooh-poohing the skeptics
Who question their questionable ethics.
They say an influx of banknotes
Is just coincident to their votes,
And not some sinister pay-for-play antics.
