On the feast day of Robert Burns, the article argues that the political climate under the Trump administration is troubling, highlighted by ICE actions, CDC report failures, and pardoned insurrectionists. Furthermore, it critiques Trump's perception of value, contrasting it with Burns’ emphasis on intrinsic human worth, unaffected by financial status. The inclusion of Burns’ poetry serves to articulate that true worth lies in character rather than wealth, reflecting a staunch opposition to the corrupted values represented by Trump and his associates.

"Cheerful still, I am as well as a monarch in his palace, O, Though Fortune's frown still hunts me down."
