Dear Donald, I wish you’d vamoose
\nIt ain’t safe in DC with you loose.
\nThe whole nation, in fact,
\nWould at last be less racked,
\nIf you’d simply become a recluse.<\/p>\n
*****
\nThe Donald is starting to backtrack
\nIn response to fierce tweets from the whack-track
\nThat their love for him’s gone
\nCuz he’s “Amnesty Don.”
\nDACA deal with the Dems? Cue sad sack-track.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
The media’s only too glad
\nTo opine that Trump’s pivoting. Sad!
\nThough he turns on a dime,
\nThose ain’t pivots; Each time
\nIt’s a sign he’s insane. The guy’s MAD!<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
CNN Headline of the Day: “Trump has nominated 42 people for US attorney. Only one is a woman”<\/p>\n
No doubt Ivanka is VERY disappointed.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Devastating Hurricane: “WRONG Time To Mention Climate Change!”<\/p>\n
Mass Shooting: “WRONG Time To Mention Gun Control!”<\/p>\n
Anyone detect a pattern here?
\n*****<\/p>\n
Headline of the Day: “Upbeat Trump raves to Schumer, Pelosi about news coverage of their deal”<\/p>\n
Donald loves to be praised in the press,
\nWhich is rare, cuz his reign is a mess.
\nBut the deal he just made
\nWith the Democrats paid
\nOff in cov’rage that’s easing his stress.<\/p>\n
Seems the same can’t be said for old Mitch
\nAnd Paul Ryan. (Betrayal’s a bitch!)
\nWith high hopes for some wins,
\nThey put up with Trump’s sins.
\nTheir reward? They’ve been dumped in a ditch.<\/p>\n
******
\nPress Query: What will you do about X?
\nTrump: We’ll see.
\nChild’s Query: Can I do X? Can I? Can I?
\nParent: We’ll see.<\/p>\n
*****
\nTrump has a long history of taking undeserved credit for donations. Will Hurricane Harvey be yet another example?<\/p>\n
Do not rush to give Trump an ovation
\nFor his one million dollar “donation”
\nTo victims of Harvey;
\nThough pledges are marvy,
\nPlease buck promise and payment conflation.<\/p>\n
******
\nTrump proclaimed he’d treat Dreamers “with heart,”
\nBut his vow was a lie from the start.
\nDumping DACA, he’s dashed
\nAll their dreams; hope’s been smashed
\nBy a bigot who’s slashed us apart.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
This probably sounds cynical, given Trump’s obvious instability. <\/p>\n
But despite Donald’s mental unfitness, I don’t believe the powers that be will ever use the 25th Amendment to remove him from the presidency.<\/p>\n
Hence my limerick rant:<\/p>\n
Has the Donald succumbed to a funk?
\nIs his psyche okay? Oh what bunk!
\nWhy fret NOW? It’s too LATE!
\nFoolish votes sealed our fate.
\nThat ship’s sailed and, alas, we are sunk.<\/p>\n
*****
\nIs anyone else sick of stories claiming that Ivanka and Jared tried really, really hard to get Trump to do the right thing?<\/p>\n
Poor Ivanka and Jared are sad,
\nOnce again disappointed by dad
\nAfter trying sooooo hard.
\nIf you buy this canard,
\nYou’re as blind as daft Donald is mad.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Two-Verse Limerick:<\/p>\n
Have you read Donald’s tweet-rants today,
\nAimed at partners of DPRK?
\nThey clearly were meant
\nTo scare China. Trump’s vent
\nWas a threat to stop trade. Foolish bray!<\/p>\n
Even Donald would rather not crash
\nOur economy. That would be rash.
\nSo his threat to stop trade
\nWith China charade
\nIs naught but nonsensical trash.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Trump to Pence: I saw photos of you in Houston, hugging Harvey victims and clearing debris.<\/p>\n
Pence: Just doing my part, Mr. President.<\/p>\n
Trump: Stop trying to make me look bad!<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Dearest Trump fans, condemning Obama
\nFor Katrina, with Sturm, Drang, and drama,
\nIs a waste of Snopes’ time.
\nDopey gripes are a crime.
\nDid he also cause Black Tuesday trauma?<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Dear Donald, I hope you’re aware
\nThat you’re poor at pretending to care.
\nThough some suckers still buy
\nEv’ry pretense and lie,
\nBeing selfish is all that you share.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Trump: “Harvey. It sounds like such an innocent name, but isn’t.”<\/p>\n
Me: Donald. It sounds like such an innocent name, but isn’t.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Trump on the Hurricane Harvey recovery: “We want to do it better than ever before. We want to be looked at in five years or 10 years from now as this is the way to do it.”<\/p>\n
I, for one, am looking forward to all the congratulatory phone calls Trump will be inventing.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Pro-brutality, favors rascality,
\nCan’t accept or contend with reality,
\nBadly raised, must be praised,
\nHis mentality’s crazed;
\nTrump’s normality — national malady.<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
FEMA Adviser: The Dallas Convention Center will house 5000 Harvey refugees.<\/p>\n
TRUMP: Unacceptable! I’ve banned ALL refugees!<\/p>\n
*****<\/p>\n
Journalist: During the campaign, you claimed to have no dealings with Russia.<\/p>\n
Trump: That’s right, and I didn’t!<\/p>\n
Journalist: Then how do you explain your Moscow Trump Tower “letter of intent?”<\/p>\n
Trump: I INTENDED to have dealings. Bigly different!<\/p>\n
