14. Footing the bill

Trump's trade deals, a global dismay,
Brought the world close, but not in a good way.
With policies mad,
And outcomes quite bad,
Americans foot the bill, sad to say.

They are seen as an insidious dark jest,
And united the world in protest.
With tariffs a curse,
Our wallets grew worse,
And America failed freedom's true test.
