Trump l'oeil


Mine is the best art-
it's very, very great art.
Trump l’oeil.
There are presidents for it
in history, way back.
It’s good art
with very, very real
illusion.
It’s deceptions are incredible,
believe me.
It leads you down a garden path,
a terrific path.
Everybody loves it.
Nasty people call it
a slippery slope.
But that’s fake news.
It’s a fake slope.
All there is
is a great wall.
Going nowhere.
Trump l’oeil.
