Trump’s great plans for harmony
\naround the middle east
\nhave just been put to\u00a0test by
\nthe Ethiopian beast.
\nTheir huge hydropower dam,
\nupstream on the Blue Nile,
\nwill block the flow to two countries
\ndownstream in a short while.
\nTrump, of course, looked deep
\ninto his magic tea leaves cup,
\nand said, no joke, that Egypt
\nwill just have to blow it up.
\nThat damned dam is ruining
\nhis peace plans with Sudan.
\nAnd to save negotiations,
\nhe’ll do all he can.
\nMaybe he’ll send Seals
\nto help out with the detonation.
\nThat’s if any survived
\n“fake” Bin Lad assassination.
\nIsrael-Sudan engagement’s
\ntop priority.
\nAnd blowing up the dam would please
\nhis new close friend, Bibi.
\nSo, Egypt, use your great explosives.
\nLiberate the river.
\nDamn the Ethiopians.
\nMake their timbers shiver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
