DOUBLE STANDARD

If a Democrat had staged

A fraction of what Trump has staged

The lying, the name calling, the cuddling up to Putin

Republicans would be positively outraged

If a Democrat had shown

A fraction of Trump’s befuddlement

The border, the tariffs, the NATO belittling

Republicans would be seeking an indictment

If a Democrat had lied

A fraction of the times Trump has lied

Republicans would be screaming

For his or her hide

In short, there’s a political double standard

If you’re a Republican stuff is OK

If you’re a Democrat

No damn way Jose

Adultery, lying, cheating

If you’re a Republican named Trump, no big deal

But if you’re a Democrat

You just put your career on repeal
