When he thought Hillary’d be victorious
But the loss that befitted

Though the lefties think it’s curious

Be a gentleman
Even though feminists think he’s being uxorious

Trump is not really uxorious
Though his wife’s life is luxurious
He’s generous with his money
Not the least bit phony
A happy man if a bit notorious.

he is not uxorious,
just respects their vows.
