Zorro of the rust belt

   We half anticipated these episodes

   of munificence, a dilettante drop-

   in by the ascending hero of policy 

   disdain, in this ostentatious res-

   cue of a factory by such impulsive

   favoritism, with fascist flourish;

   this WTO-busting subsidy of extor-

   tion-sucking rapture. Half, it ap-

   pears, is never bold enough. He'll

   be the whole butt of his gestures.

   So daring it is, to make us watch.
