The last remaining superpower
Might get a leader who would tower
Above a smallish premier of Japan.
The Third World wouldn’t be euphoric
At evidence (though metaphoric)
That global domination is our plan.

All foreign leaders love to stop
For that historic photo-op
That shows the world they’ve made a White House visit.
But what if Bradley is the guy
Who’s posing with some tiny Thai?
That isn’t very diplomatic, is it?

So, let’s say Bradley wins the race.
We may not want to keep in place
The way that foreign leaders now are greeted.
The standing shot would cease to be.
The visitor will come to tea,
So both the President and he are seated.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read. It’s just one of many examples of incisive, deeply-reported journalism we publish—journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media. For nearly 160 years, The Nation has spoken truth to power and shone a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug.

In a critical election year as well as a time of media austerity, independent journalism needs your continued support. The best way to do this is with a recurring donation. This month, we are asking readers like you who value truth and democracy to step up and support The Nation with a monthly contribution. We call these monthly donors Sustainers, a small but mighty group of supporters who ensure our team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers have the resources they need to report on breaking news, investigative feature stories that often take weeks or months to report, and much more.

There’s a lot to talk about in the coming months, from the presidential election and Supreme Court battles to the fight for bodily autonomy. We’ll cover all these issues and more, but this is only made possible with support from sustaining donors. Donate today—any amount you can spare each month is appreciated, even just the price of a cup of coffee.

The Nation does not bow to the interests of a corporate owner or advertisers—we answer only to readers like you who make our work possible. Set up a recurring donation today and ensure we can continue to hold the powerful accountable.

Thank you for your generosity.
