Subtlety is not an option
An aggressive fragrance: vanity and greed
Are evident immediately, though notes of
Despair vie for sovereignty with distinct
Manic, megalomaniacal muskiness
Which lingers as you approach the burned
Butter and scorched earth finish
If machines run amok had a fragrance
This would be it
Emergencies are not supposed to be routine
But you will experience one every time you
So much as look at the vulgar gold bottle
Which seems half empty right after you pay
It is designed to be voice activated
Artificially intelligent, it sprays itself
And you, of course
Sometimes erratically
Experimental compounds in this cologne
Can augment fertility
While compromising depth perception
And allow you to read minds
Or believe you can
One spritz will make your tiny fingers appear huge, for a time
Though comparing them to the digits of others
Entails significant mental health risks
You'll deny the cost of eggs three times
When you move fast and break things
With this scent to pay the rent
Which you will increase
And increase
Before you become obsessed
With a word other than money
For a short while
Think of it as a tariff
Guaranteed to fascinate fools and muzzle the wise
This exclusive blend was designed to be a limited edition
But people are saying, especially in places we own
That a four year tenure may not be long enough
Sure, it might offend some people
You might not be welcome everywhere
You could find yourself loudly repeating
Things you do not believe or understand
But that's the price you'll pay
To get what you want
Which is everything
Anything less
Would mean
That someone else managed to win
Something insignificant
And you never lose
That's why you wear
Our product
Flood the zone and throw
The paper towels
Trump
Musk

There’s truth to your words. Love the metaphoric element in it.
That stinks! Lol. Loved your poem!
The trump musk scent is the fragrance of deceit. Well written.
The smell of despair
The fragrance of the age.
