Tiffany Midge: An Election Day poem from candidate Donald Trump


A meme created by the campaign of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Only poet Tiffany Midge, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, could make Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump sound eloquent. An Election Day requiem:
Trust me, I’m a poet.

I have all of the words.

I have the best words.

The most tremendous words.

Bigly. Yuge!

Those other poets are a disaster,

just a disaster.

I’m going to build a wall

around those other poet’s

words, because no one

has more respect for words as me.
