TAKE THAT, FEDERAL WORKERS


Federal workers are busting the budget
Thus says His Majesty
So no raises for them
And no, that’s not a travesty

And stop complaining about
Tax cuts for the rich
They are DJ's friends and your betters
Now get back in your ditch

Sacrifices are for you worker bees
It’s as necessary as flour for dough
You can’t expect fairness
With the one percent running the show

A budget deficit due to tax cuts
For the rich friends of DJ
Is certainly not a problem
Such a deficit is more than okay

But if the deficit cause is
A few more bucks for a GS eleven
Lawdy, Miss Clawdy
That deficit can’t be allowed to happen

IMPEACHMENT? BE WARY, DEMS


DJ’s impeachment
Might be coming down the pike
Maybe depends on which party
Prevails election night

But if the Dems win
They best be cautious
It’s not an impeachable offense
Merely to be odious

High crimes and misdemeanors
Are what the Constitution dictates
Just being Donald
Is not an impeachable mandate

Maybe the necessary offenses
Will emerge from the mire
But be cautious, Dems
Evidence is more than mere desire

Besides, don’t waste all your ammo
On 2018
2020 is when
You want your best team in

NEEDY DJ



As a hero is buried
Needy DJ’s next few days
Are gonna be quite tough
He likely won’t be the center of attention
And for him that’s really rough

Maybe he’ll react
By imposing a tariff on Norway
Firing Jeff Sessions
Or closing a federal highway

Anything to have the media
Refocus on what’s number one
Which is his Royal Highness
And all that he has done

And if you doubt his importance
Just remember his warning
If Republicans do badly in November
Mobs will be swarming

Because if Republicans lose
The election will obviously have been rigged
Justifying violence
Against the media pigs

CONSPIRACY!


DJ says Google
Is conspiring against him
By returning only negative stuff
To requests of the search engine

This conspiracy is allegedly
Very far-reaching
Aimed at suppressing conservatives
And their teaching

Ah, the right wing and their conspiracies
What a gullible group
A deep state in every corner
A liberal plot under every stoop

Social media and the worldwide web
Have bestowed a platform upon
Those who could not pass
Truth 101

And leading the pack of Deficients
Is His Highness himself
A gentleman with the intellect (and hands)
Of a very tiny elf

MEXICAN TRADE DEAL


“Incredible deal,” “Tremendous thing”
Were the words DJ let fall
About a preliminary trade deal
With neighbor who’s not building a wall

But if you look closely
At the situation
Two problems are evident
That might temper expectation

First, the agreement
Is just preliminary
Congress and Canada
Are hurdles to permanency

Second, despite DJ’s use
Of adjectives galore
The agreement doesn’t really
Change the score

A few adjustments here
A few adjustments there
And what you have
Is change by no more than a hair

JOHN McCAIN


John McCain
Was an honorable man
He served the country heroically
In a way only a few can

In the world of politics
And political grandstanding
His was a voice of decency
And bi-partisan understanding

His priorities were not
Money and adulation
His country came first
Not self-aggrandization

He was not perfect
None of us are
But if a child wants someone to emulate
Point to John McCain’s star

DJ'S FINANCIAL GUY


Now things are getting serious
DJ’s financial guy
Is cooperating with the Feds
And he may provide one scrumptious pie

DJ’s legal, media, and financial triumvirate
Are now maybe Mueller’s pals
Maybe having a drink after work
Making jokes about DJ’s gals

But people say DJ
Likes his back against the wall
If that is so
He should now be having a ball

Incidentally, what is the deal
On cancelling Pompeo’s call
On the Little Rocket Man
Has denuking hit a wall?

DJ says it’s China’s fault
For not pressuring Little Rocket Man
China is probably distracted
By DJ’s trade war so grand

PECKER RISES TO THE OCCASION


It doesn’t always happen
Some gentlemen, particularly of the elderly persuasion
Are just not able
But in this instance, Pecker rose to the occasion

The National Enquirer publisher
Cooperated with the Feds
In their effort
To put Cohen to bed

Now the question is
Will Pecker cooperate more
To put the shaft to DJ
And maybe show him the exit door

Pecker reportedly has a safe
Full of stuff derogatory
About DJ and his affairs
Both erotic and monetary

Would it be enough
To bring DJ down
Probably not considering
DJ’s ability to slip and slide around

TURNING POINT?


Year three in the reign of DJ is approaching
And here is the question
Does he represent a fundamental national decline
Or is he an aberration?

The fundamental decline argument
Is buttressed by the fact
That Republicans remain largely accepting
Of what to most others is a quack

The aberration argument
Resides in the fact
That most other Americans
Do indeed consider him whacked

Is this a national turning point
Where history starts a descent
Into at best a sustained mediocrity
That no one can prevent?

Or will we somehow rise
From this deep nadir
To continue an historical journey
As a bona fide (but sometimes flawed) exemplar?

MANAFORT AND COHEN


Manafort and Cohen
Going to the slammer
How about DJ
He’s looking for a hammer

To bash those media heads
Who obviously are behind
The grave injustices being perpetuated
Just to make a dime

Yes, in DJ’s view
It’s mostly about money
At least in his life
Money has always been honey

But he’s also wanted to be worshiped
Money and adulation
Ever since childhood
He’s needed the attention

Will DJ get outta this?
Don’t be surprised
He’s as slippery as an eel
And to the occasion could rise

MOUNTAIN HOME



There’s a nice little community in Idaho
Name of Mountain Home
Where the deer and the antelope play
And the buffalo, if there were any, would roam

The community does have a quirk, however
The street grid is numbered in both directions
That is, the north-south streets are numbered
And the east-west streets have similar identifications

So you have intersections
Such as
East 10th North Street
And North 10th East Street

The locals have no problem
Having mastered the maze
But visitors can be perplexed
Their minds muddled in a haze

So if you happen to visit
The golf course is more than regulation
The nearby mountains are awesome
Just be careful getting to your destination

TRUTH ISN"T TRUTH



Truth isn’t truth
So says Giuliani
It depends on who’s talking
And maybe whether their feeling randy

DJ’s spokespersons often
See words as very flexible
Recall Conway’s “alternative facts”
That she found respectable

Perjury trap is what concerns
DJ’s attorneys
And just what is a perjury trap?
With DJ,
It’s pretty much anything spewing from his yap

Never in American history
Has there been such carelessness
In labelling facts as fiction
And fiction as truthfulness

When the Trump disaster has run its course
And normal mild chaos replaced the extreme
Will truth be a permanent casualty
Or will all this just be a bad dream?

WHINING BOY



DJ’s outpouring of words
Be it statements, rallies, or twitter
Have analysts confused
And all in a dither

Is there a strategy involved
An underlying plan or scheme?
Or is DJ just shooting from the hip
Whenever something annoys his spleen

If one looks closely enough
There is a common element
The rantings, ravings, and threats
All have a whining component

Yes, DJ is like an unhappy
and petulant four-year old
Whining about food, siblings, adults,
The weather, playtime, and what all

So the next time you see DJ
Spewing a load of vitriol
Don’t think calculating adult
Think playground four-year old

LOST PARADE



Cadet Bone Spurs lost his parade
So he’s going to France instead
The French really are nice to him
He sleeps in Marie Antoinette’s bed
(Remember she lost her head)

Since nothing is ever DJ’s fault
He’s looking for someone to name
The DC Government is a handy culprit
So that’s who’s getting the blame

Never mind that a great many people
Think the idea of a massive parade
Was mainly for glorifying DJ
And his enormous orange head

The question now is
Will DJ behave himself in France
Or will he disrupt the Armistice Celebration
With some inappropriate rant

DJ is likely unaware
Of who was in WW One
And how it came about
He just knows parades are great fun

URITROTTOIRS



Didja’ catch the latest news
About the new Parisian invention
They are called uritrottoirs
And they’re for public urination

Like a trash can
They are on the street
You just step in close
And the public can’t see the meat

Your head, shoulders, and backside
Are all in public view
But no need to be embarrassed
Your boy is in the loo

What a tourist attraction
These things will be
Every visiting American
Will want a public pee

Visiting males, that is
Females aren’t accommodated
Their anatomy results in
Needs that are more complicated

SECURITY CLEARANCES



Brennan lost his security clearance
For criticizing the President
Are we a great nation
Or just a banana republic?

DJ has found the Presidency
To be burdened with constraints
Not like running a family business
Where there were no restraints

Back at Trump Tower
DJ’s word was law
His wants were instantly filled
By sycophants galore

But the Presidency is different
In a government of multiple restraints
Dictatorial behavior
Is not what it takes

Security clearances are one thing
Over which DJ has some power
So to show he’s the boss
He’s stripping critics bare

DJ AND JOHN MCCAIN




While DJ was nursing his bone spurs
John McCain was in a North Vietnamese prison
And yet the nation gave DJ
The keys to the Executive Mansion

Oh, John McCain is not perfect
After all, he chose Sarah Palin
To be a heartbeat from the nuclear codes
That could end civilization

But DJ’s dismissal of McCain
For being a prisoner taken
Is an insult to the military
That protects the nation

DJ is a multi-flawed human
Whose unpredictability
Is a threat to international order
And even to humanity

DJ’s penchant for lashing out
Is both childish and frightening
And belies his campaign statement
That acting presidential would be to his liking

"BUSINESSMAN" PRESIDENT



DJ’s mantra was, I’m a businessman
I know how things are run
You Government chumps get outta the way
I will get things done.

But the problem is
Some businesses are well run, some are not
DJ’s largely weren’t
And that’s not poppy cot

DJ was less businessman
And more an entertainer
And not really even that
Just a bombastic pretender

Omarosa, bless her little heart
She found DJ’s core
Which seems to be that
He’s a racist bore

DJ is taking Omarosa
To arbitration court
For violating a non-disclosure agreement
By disclosing that DJ is a dork

FAKE BIKE BOY



Priced a Harley yesterday
Ain’t had a bike in years
But damned if I’m gonna listen
To some fake bike boy
Who’s never shifted gears

What is fake bike boy thinking
Denigrating an American icon?
It’s time he shut his trap
And reviewed introductory econ

Hey fake bike boy,
We live in a global economy
National borders don’t mean squat
To electronic money

Maybe you need to get your head
Out of nineteen fifty four
And grasp the simple fact
That you can’t close the economic door

You’ve surrounded yourself
With economic Neanderthals
Who feed your bottomless ignorance
With isolationist meatballs

LEADERSHIP 101



Has there ever been such a spectacle
In American history
Of the nation’s President publicly and repeatedly berating
A Cabinet appointee?

The reference of course
Is to DJ, and Jeff from Alabama
Who DJ appointed AG and who he now treats
Like a rotten banana

What leadership school taught DJ
That flailing a subordinate unceasingly
Was an accepted management technique
In spite of making everyone queasy?

But you have to hand it to Jeff
He’s keeping his eye on the ball
Just happily plodding along
Driving DJ up the wall

In fact, Jeff is something of a hero
For bearing the brunt of DJ’s incoherent rage
About stuff DJ doesn’t understand
Which pretty much covers the whole stage
