Dear Media: Trump ISN’T A Populist, So Stop Calling Him One! (Limerick)

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2017

Does anyone else cringe when the media calls Trump a “populist?” I suggest these, instead: “purported populist,” “fake populist,” “alleged populist,” just-pretend populist,” or “faux populist.”

A “faux populist” con hurtled Trump
To the White House, the votes from each chump
Gained by promises made
That he’d come to their aid;
Bigly duped by a fraud on the stump.

Trump’s Ongoing Con Job (Limerick)

Thursday, December 15th, 2016

Donald’s populist ploy goes beyond
Any con job I’ve ever seen spawned.
Yet his fans (who should keen
From the rich, elite sheen
Of Trump’s Cab’net) don’t know they’ve been conned.
