Agreeing with Trump about anything feels extremely weird: “Trump urges Senate to pass legislation ending clock changes”
Whatever Trump says, I’m not buying,
Cuz Donald is constantly lying.
Yet I have to agree
When he launches a spree
Of his “twice-yearly clock-change” decrying.
The fine rep of our nation’s been smashed.
Our economy’s ransacked and trashed.
Constitution’s ignored.
Trump starts wars; then gets bored.
Yet that boor plunders on, unabashed.
Our great nation is falling apart!
What’s the crux of it? Where do I start?
I blame Donald, of course,
But the villainous source
Is embracing a man with no heart.
We need candidates worthy of trust,
So political vetting’s a must!
If that job is done badly,
The upshot is, sadly . . .
Yet another election year bust.
Headline: “Trump reopens Greenland fight as NATO summit kicks off”
Donald Trump adores living in Mean-Land
And his other fav place, Vent-His-Spleen-Land,
Where he bitches and frets
And revisits his threats,
Like the one where he takes over Greenland.
Paul Krugman inspired my limerick:
Conman “Pump & Dump” President Trump
Loves exploiting each gullible chump:
Crypto schemes raze the clams
Of those duped by his scams . . .
As Trump’s grift-wealth continues to jump.
My limerick was inspired by this article:
Give your newborn the name of a villain?
It’s done rarely! Most folks are unwillin’.
But it’s fun, all the same,
To note few people name
Their kids “Donald.” They much prefer “Dylan.”
The Donald persuaded his base
That at deal-making Trump is an ace.
But his cave to Iran
Proves his skill-claim’s a con.
Will his fans fin’lly note his disgrace?
Dozy Don, did you get lots of kicks
Out of hexing the great New York Knicks?
You looked old, orange, bored,
And I’m betting you snored.
Yes, we saw you “out cold.” We scored pics!
My Dear Donald, New York’s been imbued
With deep pride in the Knicks, and our mood
Has been great, till you came
To attend the third game.
I sure hope that you like getting booed!
Our neighborhood grouch tends to revel
In claiming he worships the devil.
Yet that very same grump
Still maintains he hates Trump.
(I suspect that he’s NOT on the level.)
Our fine nation has lost its prime anchor;
It’s been sullied by Trump, a vile canker,
Who’s untethered to laws,
Who takes pride in his flaws,
And who governs by greed, whim, and rancor.
Washington Post Headline: “Trump says he sees shootings as a reflection of his impact”
My dear Donald, attempts on your life
Are the fruit of the hatred and strife
You have spread through our land.
Your “impactful” self-brand
Marks a reign that’s depravity rife.
I’m incensed by Trump’s White House each day.
Am I justified? Yes! You say “Nay?”
So to YOU, fraud’s divine
And corruption is fine.
Just as long as it’s TRUMP, you say YAY!!!
My Dear Donald, insulting the Pope
Is an idiot’s move. You’re a dope!
Your attack, oh so caustic
E’en riles this agnostic…
Will it bolster your poll numbers? Nope!
Trump has thrown Bondi out on her duff.
(Running ‘Justice’ for Donald is rough.)
In his view, Bondi failed
Cuz his foes weren’t nailed:
She did NOT corrupt ‘Justice’ enough!
When my husband suggested a DC trip, my visions of cherry blossoms were sullied by this:
Trump has branded DC with his face:
Banners ev’rywhere! What a disgrace!
Major sites are debased,
By his image defaced.
It’s a sight many long to erase!
My war in Iran’s going great!
Ev’ry option I’ve chosen’s first rate.
But the “fake news” is claiming
The opposite, blaming
My acts for the glitch with the Strait.
They are trying to make me lose face,
And it’s THEIR fault I’m losing my base.
But I’ll get them back soon,
And they’ll sing a new tune…
Cuz my pal Brendan Carr’s on the case.
Donald loves to abuse friendly nations,
Hurling insults, demanding prostrations.
Now he’s stunned they won’t aid
With the Hormuz blockade…
How dare they rebuff his dictations!
