How Do You Disgust Me? Let Me Count the Ways

(With Apologies to Shakespeare and None to Trump)

How do you disgust me?

Let me count the ways.

You are a tyrant, a tormentor, an intimidator in a red tie.

A brute with fragile pride.

A bully who calls his own abuse “strength” and his victims “weak.”

An oppressor with a golf handicap.

You don’t rule—you stomp.

You don’t speak—you bark.

You don’t lead—you corner, shame, shove, and lie.

But language is rich. So let’s call you what you are, in all the dialects of domination:

Call it what you like.

The disguise changes.

The violence does not.

You bully with charm.

You bully with cameras.

You bully with silence.

You bully with god and grievance and grievance-as-god.

You bully with words, with money, with flags, with lies.

You do not lead.

You corner.

Let history write your name in bold, but let it annotate in footnotes the hundred synonyms that mean “coward in disguise.”
