The Sandbox Brawl: The End of Bromance

Trump stomped in first with red-tie pride,
A blimp of bluster, puffed with stride.
He drew a line deep in the sand,
Declared it his, gave one command.

Then Elon came, cape dragging slow,
With charts and tweets in proudest tow.
"You'd never won," he scoffed with heat,
"Without my cash, you'd have faced defeat."

Trump snorted, “What? You think I care?
You’re just a nerd with thinning hair.
Go build your toys and shoot your stars—
I run the room, not rusty cars.”

Musk fired back, “You knew Epstein—
Your smile won’t hide what’s truly mean.
You laughed and posed, acted serene,
But secrets crack — the truth is seen.”

“You little fraud,” Trump snarled and spat,
“You stabbed me first, remember that.
You took my tax breaks, grinned with glee,
Then turned and bit the hand — that’s me!”

“Elon,” he growled, “you’re losing grip,
Your brain’s aboard a sinking ship.
You back JD? A rookie clone!
I paved the way — you reap alone.”

“I warned the world you’d blow the bank,”
Said Musk, “Your deals? A fiscal prank.
Your ‘big bill’ stinks of bloated mess—
No plan, just yelling more for less.”

“I’ll cut your funds,” Trump barks with glee,
“No rockets, roads, or subsidy.
No SpaceX checks, no EV gold—
Let’s see you shine without my hold.”

They flailed and raged, kicked sand and cried,
While grown-ups watched, half mortified.
Two billionaires in suits and sweat,
Still mad the swings were slightly wet.

They shook their fists and named their toys—
Two overgrown, combustible boys.
No truth, no trust, just spats and spite,
In sandbox wars at broad daylight.

Thank you so much, Yanma, Auracle, Hélène, Aisha, Stephen, and Uilleam, for the flower! I truly appreciate your support — it means a lot to know the piece resonated with you.

Stephen, thank you — I’m especially glad you picked out that “no rockets, roads, or subsidy” line! I tried to echo that particular cadence of menace veiled as policy. And yes, you put it beautifully — “government by hyperbole” makes us want to disengage, but we can’t afford to. That very exhaustion is the tool they count on. I’ll keep writing, and your encouragement means a lot.

Thank you, Uilleam — your words cut right to the heart of it. The Epstein reference was difficult to include, but necessary, I felt — not for shock, but to expose the brutal hollowness behind the pageantry. You’re right: the point-scoring has long overtaken any real sense of care or conscience. That we’re watching this unfold with a mix of disbelief and grim familiarity says a lot about where we are — and how easily this kind of decay can leap across borders. I share your concern, and I’m grateful you read the poem not just as satire, but as warning.

He claims that the Orange Horror knew Epstein, yet still saw fit to expose his son to him at the Whitehouse.

And his concern for the victims......? a truly crass scale of priorities in which point-scoring takes precedence.

You accurately describe a society in freefall, Rolph...a degenerate scene which some in the UK appear only too eager to imitate.

This is really good, Rolph. 'No rockets, roads, or subsidy' catches perfectly Trump's rhythm of speech. And the poem mirrors the juvenile tone of their slanging match. For me, the worst thing about this government by hyperbole is that I want to say 'who cares?' but know deep down that I can't.

Keep on speaking truth to them.
