Twas the night before Trump
Twas the night before Inauguration, and up in the tower,
The Donald reflected on his newfound power.
The conservative masses had come out in force,
And delivered a victory that would chart a new course.
The snowflakes were shell-shocked with tears in their eyes,
The media lied to them . . . What a surprise.
They had been promised a Hillary win,
But the criminal Clinton took one on the chin.
And though from all corners celebrities flew,
They made no impression, for they hadn’t a clue.
They talked about climate, racism, and such,
And they made up good stories . . . But didn’t know much.
The fake news and ignorance came at a cost,
And they can’t understand all the reasons they lost.
They blame it on Comey and Bernie and Vlad,
But fail to acknowledge the one that was bad.
Yes, Hillary Clinton, in many ways flawed,
Was her own biggest hurdle toward getting the nod.
The campaign exposed her corruptness and greed,
And her speeches were punch-less as ten dollar weed.
So out in the streets there arose such a clatter,
It was Soros-paid protestors and Black Lives Matter.
With cities to pillage and windows to smash,
They knew not the issues, but needed the cash.
Eight years of Obama had given them cause,
To expect a replacement of their Santa Claus.
But soon the protestors will feel the pain,
When the wheels fall off of the old gravy train.
And now all the snowflakes are riddled with fear,
Upset and offended by things that they’ll hear.
The cocoa and crayons will help for a while,
But fact-based opinions will soon cramp their style.
I originally supported, and voted, for Cruz,
In the end, I would vote for whoever they choose.
He wasn’t my first choice, but soon I would cede,
The one they call Trump is the one that we need.
I saw him on TV in front of a crowd,
He spoke about veterans, it made me feel proud.
He spoke about energy, safety, and jobs,
Taking this country back from the Washington snobs.
He was dressed in Armani, all tailored and neat,
And the Brunos he wore made the outfit complete.
For a man of his vintage, he seemed rather fit,
And he looked presidential, I have to admit.
His eyes glowed like embers, his smile was the best,
And his hair was the color of my old hunting vest.
His love for this country was on full display,
And his actions spoke louder than his words could say.
He thanked all his voters, and before he was gone,
Saved thousands of jobs while Obama looked on.
The fate of this country left nothing to chance,
So, he filled out his cabinet weeks in advance.
The men he had chosen were of the same mind,
Let’s set the bar high, and not lead from behind.
He picked up his phone as he rose from his seat,
With a flick of his finger, he sent out this tweet;
“Now Mattis!, now Kelly!’ now Sessions! And Pruitt!
On Perry! On Flynn, You’re the ones who can do it.
Start lifting restrictions and building the wall,
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”;
The roar of his audience rose from the stands,
He kissed all their babies and shook all their hands.
He answered their questions and calmed all their fears,
They knew it would be a fantastic four years.
Then he jumped in his limo, and off to his jet,
A fellow that Liberals won’t soon forget.
He sent one more tweet as the evening expired;
“Happy Inauguration to all,
AND OBAMA – YOU’RE FIRED!”

Isn't it something like 3,000,000 barrels a day that go to the US ?
The trade between the two countries has been built up over many decades and that could be turned off over night. So no. If it happens it's Trump and his supporters.

Canada imports over 600,000 barrels of oil every day. No way in hell this country should be importing oil from foreign sources.

Some people just don't get it.
Importing oil, implementing a Carbon Tax, raising minimum wage, exporting raw and importing refined, paying billions to shutter coal plants, announcing a Royalty Review and then waiting 9 months before announcing basically no change, increasing business tax during a recession, hiring anti-oil/pipeline staff, lack of a NEP, etc. If Trump actually does what our "leaders" should have done decades ago, and looks after business at home first, and it hurts Canada's economy, I won't be holding him responsible. That sounds kinda like blaming a team that beat you for winning because they were too good. This might be good for Canada though, our leader my thrive when given some drama.

That's true, but that still leaves a drop of 2.4 million barrels per day. That's a lot of jobs all thanks to Trump.

Actually what he may be doing is breaking business agreements and putting people out of work.

The poem is funny. No doubt.
Honesty though this country, their country- our continent is divided. We need to stop slinging mud at each other and insults and get to work. There is a massive wedge that needs to be eliminated on both sides of the border both from the left and from the right. This kind of rhetoric and prose does nothing to help that.

Great Piece that pulls it all together. We always knew right from the start Trump would win. Lots of threads in history here about it during the process.
Hopefully Time Magazine will publish this.
Now would sure like to hear one about Canada.

Good today's conservatives are apologizing wimps bent on sending our jobs overseas and the ones they can't replacing them with third world labor. We have very few real Conservatives or Liberals left just Globalist puppets.

With the US discovery of their massive Midland basin oil reserve they'll need way less Canadian oil and will remain motivated to blockade our pipelines by all means necessary. Due to that find I foresee increased funding of Canadian environmental protest groups and similar cause-du-jour lemmings by such US & other big oil interests.
We need a leader who has a closet full of big-boy pants (or the female equivalent), our current marionette PM won't accomplish a thing for our economy. His track record to date speaks for itself.

That's because the 'conservatives' you speak of are not real conservatives. Today's liberalism is now bringing in all the fringe radicals so they are totally screwed up. Just listen to some of these losers on u tube. Make you wonder how the US can survive. Safe spaces, transgender bathrooms, radical environmentalism, woman in combat, printing money...........

I agree with you that the US won't need Canadian oil shortly but Steven Harper didn't get those pipelines built either
