Headline: USA Reaches 3 Million Virus Cases

Oh, great. We’ve got three million cases….

Yet Donald’s response to his base is

To keep right on blathering,

Encouraging gathering

Of fools who won’t cover their faces.

July 8

Headline:Trump defends Redskins, Indians team names

Change “Redskins”? Hell, that would reject

My most righteous call to respect

Our Great White Tradition

Of lack of contrition

For slaughter, abuse, and neglect.

July 7

Headline: Trump Calls His Opposition an “Angry Mob” of “Marxists”

You know who the problem is? They.

They want to take freedom away!

They’re different. They’re strange.

They want things to change!

And they won’t just shut up and obey.

July 6

Headline: Trump Continues Divisive Rhetoric

I’m Donald J. Trump, The Divider.

I hope to make chasms grow wider.

And my chosen course?

Unleash the Pale Horse..

And gleefully act as its rider.

July 5

Headline: Trump Claims Teachers Trying to Teach Children to Hate America

Uncomfortable truth was submerged.

The history books were all purged.

We lived for years with

Some nice whitewashed myth.

Well, Donald: the real story’s surged.

July 4

Headline: Nation Celebrates its 244th Birthday

Imagine next 4^th of July –

It’s easy, friend, if you will try –

With these truths we hold self-evident

Upheld by a new President

Who knows how much we need them, and knows why.

Headline: Jeffrey Epstein Associate Ghislaine Maxwell Arrested, Charged With Recruiting Young Girls

Oh, my, they have nabbed Ghislaine Maxwell…

I hope she’s established her facts well.

For if she proclaims

Jeff’s customers’ names

We might doubt her prison guard acts well.

July 2

Headline: Trump Dubs Himself “The Lone Warrior”

Hey, Pardner, who is that stranger?

‘The Lone Warrior,’ not The Lone Ranger.

He shoots with no plan

And he ain’t The Masked Man,

And he sure as hell don’t confront danger.

July 1

Headline: European Union Forbids American Travelers

Want to go visit grand-père?

Forget it. They don’t want us there.

While Don jokes “Kung Flu”

Tous les Américains, adieu!

And Kommen Sie nicht her, mein Herr!

June 30

Headline: Source Says Trump Knew of “Bounties”

Said Don, “I support our armed force!”

Except a reliable source

Says the “bounty” is true

And Don always knew.

Could Donald be lying? Of course!
