The First Method

"The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler
is to look at the men he has around him"
So, let us look at our current "rulers" to see how they meet that trim

Donald Trump, Joe Biden
Which of you does better?
When we judge you by Niccolo Machiavelli's words
Which of you comes out the greater?

I'll leave you to your own judgement
You decide upon your own
But remember that those we surround ourselves with
Are often the same as our own flesh and bone
