Lead a Horse to Water

The old phrase, Looking at the sun and denying that it's there
Yes, that comes to mind
The sun is up there, but sometimes it's almost as if we are blind

Or there's the thought, You can lead a horse to water,
but you cannot make it drink
Oh, I wish we could entice Americans to really think

Bless them all, the millions of Americans
But cannot they see Donald Trump's shenanigans?

What of the ninety-one criminal counts?
Well then the courts must be corrupt, they announce

What of the two times he was impeached?
They respond that those were decisions politically reached

What of the conviction for sexual assault?
Not the truth -- he has no such fault

What then of the insurrection? Surely you see that
No, it wasn't an insurrection they say and their eyes barely bat

But didn't he say immigrants are polluting the blood of America?
Don't worry, they reply, that is just so much hysteria 

Yes, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink
And you cannot convince them Trump is bad,
though you try until you're pink
