Headline: Trump Hosts Saudi-Backed LIV Golf Tour
And now, for his grossness de jour,
Don’s hosting the Saudi golf tour!
Don’t call it a “bogey,”
It’s now a “Kashoggi”
And rather than sand traps, manure.

As quite a bit lower than scum.)

And when Murdoch dumps you,
Well, that kind of trumps you.
The rats are deserting the ship.

As we also can’t find
Whatever it is you’ll want next.

Headline: Pence, Christie, Other Prominent Republicans Campaign Against Trump Primary Picks
The Donald must find this quite jolting,
But some in the party are bolting!
They’re still quite extreme,
But sing a new theme:
“The new GOP! We’re revolting!”

Not even disputable,
And leads to the vote to indict.

Has ever much cared what he said
As long as it riled
Those easily guiled
And usable rage had been spread
