California Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell slammed President Donald Trump by using three lines and 17 non-rhyming syllables to blast the president’s decision not to release his tax returns on National Haiku Day Monday.
Swalwell, a vocal critic of Trump and member of the House Intelligence Committee, called on the president to release the documents through Japanese poetry.
President Trump claims
“Nothing to hide, or to fear.”
