Ripples?

Checking CNN and BBC
More turgid waters gurgle free
Around the White House waves crash by
Unholy hosts explode on Sky!

The lie across the Land is clear
The pressure-cooker steams with fear
Truth stands out boldly in the sun
The spider's web is now undone!

Lawyers, formerly with clout,
Find their path ahead in doubt
This wake-up call means none shall sleep
Trump cards face downwards in a heap...

Riddles – wordplay – metaphor
Rumours now take flight and soar
As a «snicker-snack»* from Russian wand
Engenders ripples on the Pond!

Murky things going on in American politics
