Orson Welles

Citizen Kane Trump of His Day

By: Charles Giuliano - Aug 17, 2016

Orson Welles

Just twenty-six, 1941
Orson Welles
Took on Randolph Hearst
So cursed
Citizen Kane
Trump bully of his day
Yellow journalism
A century before
Fox News
Rush Limbaugh
Ann Coulter
Rest of the creeps
Ersatz reporters
That iconic film
Nine Oscar nominations
Won one
Got him banned
From Hollywood
Power of the press
Ever more immense
In every sense
When we met
Cinema named for him
People’s Republic of Cambridge
Island of sanity
Sea of chaos
Remembering Orson
Message in a bottle
Washed ashore
