WHAT IS HIS INVOLVEMENT?


tRump and the alleged Russian bounty
On soldiers of our nation
Is a disturbing matter that demands
Further investigation

Was the Odious Orange Outrage told
That his buddy Vladimir
Was targeting American soldiers
And doing it with a sneer?

More frightenly, in one of his private calls
To a Kremlin dark corridor
Did he and Putin hatch a scheme
To speed up our Afghan departure?

That is a conspiracy theory
Of the first order
But the Orange One’s conduct
Puts little beyond reality’s border

WHOSE SIDE IS HE ON?


A Russian bounty on American soldiers?
Was this known to the Orange Gator?
If so then he deserves a new moniker
Hello Orange Traitor

His allegiance does not seem limited
To the United States
He’s giving his autocratic buddies
Access inside our gates

He envies their freedom
Their status as international reprobates
While he’s got to put up with
All sorts of legal restraints

LEADERSHIP IN ACTION


tRump’s planning a big Fourth
Flyovers, things that go boom
Only don’t wear a mask
Or you’ll have to leave the room

VP Pence reluctantly managed today
To wear a mask for a bit
But he didn’t wear it long
He didn’t want to offend the Orange Twit

Meanwhile “White Power” got pounced on
By the Twit himself
He loved the chant from a golf cart
And twittered it to everyone else

Yeah, “White Power” you numbnuts
That’s what the majority of voters want to hear
From the President of the United States
What an abysmal excuse for a leader

A FINE FELLA


To borrow author Louise Penny’s term
tRump is really a FINE fella
F**ked up, Insecure, Neurotic, Egotistical
He also happens to be
Quite despicable

But enough with the name-calling
Let’s give the man credit
He’s showed us how
To deal with a pandemic

Just ignore the thing
More than a hundred thousand dead?
No big deal
Nothing to dread

And for God’s sake
Do not wear a mask
Manly men only do that
When their spouse passes gas

(With a shoutout to CC)

TIME RUNNING OUT


tRump has got four months
To turn impending disaster around
But all he seems capable of
Is running the nation into the ground

For a guy who convinced many
He was a manager extraordinaire
Well, he was right
No other manager could cause such despair

From gargling with bleach
To defending Confederate sculpture
He’s shown a great knack
For divisionist rupture

MONUMENT DEFENDER


How did a Yankee Huckster
From Queens New York
Become the defender of
Objectionable statues in a park?

Is it that Confederate Generals
Were losers just like he?
Is he attracted to the racism
So blatant in the Southern tree?

Or is he just being a contrarian
Trying to antagonize as many as he can
Picking fights with one and all
Over just about anything?

tRUMP VS COVID


Covid is giving tRump
The middle finger
Get lost blubber boy
And don’t linger

Thirty thousand new cases a day
Has become the norm
Social distancing and masks
Are only for those in a dorm

And only if they are wimps
And not manly men
Manly men don’t need
Protection from a tiny virus thing

Which is just a darn germ
That no one can see
Not even if they get down
On a bent knee

tRump’s solution is
Act like it’s all in jest
Pretend things are great
And not a damnable mess

Tuesday, June 23, 2020

TESTING, CHEATING, AND tRUMP


tRump has staked out his position
Covid is no big deal
Masks and social distancing
Are not needed for real

He’s a manly man
At least in his tiny brain
Real men don’t get covid
Only the weak succumb in this game

Testing is the problem
If we stopped testing for stuff
Life would not be so nasty
It would not be so rough

Testing for covid or anything
Just makes cheating that much harder
And Daddy taught him that cheating
Is necessary to maintain proper order

TWO FAT GUYS


Two fat guys
Barr and tRump
Between them have told more lies
Than molecules in a sugar lump

And in case your science is weak
And molecules aren’t your thing
That’s a helluva lotta lies
For two guys to bring

Now they’re playing games about who
Fired the Southern New York Attorney
Their trip around the facts
Is turning out to be quite a journey

Which is a common journey
For the Odious Orange Outrage
He works hard to avoid facts
He doesn’t want them on his page

POTENTIAL VP NOMINEE?


The female Mayor of Washington
Put Agent Orange in his place
Pointing out that his head was
As empty as his rallying space

Snap, Muriel!
You be cooking, Girl
You might even be
Vice President material

That Tulsa colosseum crowd
Was pretty sparse
Fewer people were there
Than on a tRump golf course

So which tRump flunkies
Will be taking the fall?
Ivanka and Jared are selecting victims
For the firing squad wall

Saturday, June 20, 2020

AGENT ORANGE ENDS BAD WEEK


Barr says tRump did the firing
tRump says otherwise
The Keystone Cops certainly had
Nothing on these guys

And who was it got fired?
The U.S. Attorney for
The Southern District of New York
Who was after Giuliani full bore

So Agent Orange arrives in Tulsa
Bringing covid in his entourage
Maybe he was afraid
Local cases were not sufficiently large

The Tulsa rally is
Not starting well
Only a few diehards have shown up
For an evening in hell

BATTLE OF TULSA?


Agent Orange is sounding like
He wants blood to flow in Tulsa
He’s done with words
Now it’s time for far-right militia

He’s tired of being
Laughed at like a clown
There in Okie land
It’s his peeps and his town

And a few might be covided
They’ll do that for him
And if he asks
They’ll break someone’s shin

INCONVENIENT FACTS


tRump says covid is done
Pence is in agreement
The facts say otherwise
Facts can certainly be inconvenient

But facts have never been
Of more than passing interest to tRump
What’s difficult to grasp is
So many followers don’t think he’s a chump

Are Americans getting stupider?
Has social media lowered the nation’s IQ?
After centuries of progress has
A downturn infected the human zoo?

Wednesday, June 17, 2020

TULSA


Some in Tulsa are objecting
To tRump’s upcoming rally
Saying the city doesn’t need covid
As the price of tRump being happy

But tRump is determined
To have his way
He desperately needs a crowd’s energy
He really wants to play

As long as attendees
Promise not to sue
If you won’t sign
You and him are through

Tuesday, June 16, 2020

AN EXECUTIVE ORDER! WOW!


tRump issued an Executive Order

on police reform

The order really didn’t say much

Just that some stuff was wrong

 

But Agent Orange can now say

He’s on the case

He doesn’t like choke holds

Unless they’re committed by his base

 

He and his flunky Pence

Are pushing back on covid

Contending it’s now under control

That they’ve closed the lid

Monday, June 15, 2020

EXPIRATION DATE?


Didja see Agent Orange stumble
Down the inclined ramp
At his West Point speech?
He looked like a way-too-old gramp

And not like a
Commander in Chief
Prepared to lead the troops
Like a mean hunk of beef

His health is obviously deteriorating
Maybe his expiration date is near
The nation would certainly mourn the loss
Of such an excellent leader

AGENT ORANGE IGNORES THE PROTESTS


Agent Orange went golfing this weekend
He’s way ahead of Obama’s pace
He’s spent more time on the fairways
Than a bona fide golfing ace

But he needs to work on his swing
It involves too much loose fat
Throwing his balance off
He stumbles like a drunken rat

He’ll shortly be stumbling in Tulsa
As he attempts to have a rally
Maybe it’ll work out
Or maybe rallies have become a blind alley

CONFEDERATE HERITAGE IN QUEENS


Carry tRump back
To old Queens New York
That’s where the corruption and crookedness grow
That’s where he got his start
At not being very smart
At being dumb as a post
But a very good host

That is, as long as guests like
Fast food galore
If you want a decent meal
Stay away from tRump’s White House door

He gave a graduation address
To West Pointers today
Let’s hope that’s his last chance
For that particular military display

AGENT ORANGE TALKS TO FOX





Agent Orange gave his buddies at Fox
An interview today
He covered a bunch of stuff
Trying to appear in control of the fray

He even acknowledged the remote possibility
That he might not be re-elected
He said he would do other stuff
Whatever he selected

Thus a campaign strategy
Has been advanced
He really doesn’t care if he wins
He can find another dance

This would save embarrassment
If he got roundly trounced
It was the voters’ fault
They blew their chance

BACK TO YOUR BUNKER, PUDGY BOY


“Go back to your bunker”
The Seattle mayor said to the Orange One
After he threatened to bring
Her city under his thumb

So Agent Orange goes after
Another strong female
His masculinity is beginning to look
Pretty darn frail

But his racism is now looking
Pretty darn strong
He’s gonna hold a rally in Tulsa
Where a century ago lynching was not wrong

About fighting for heritage and causes
He has a lot to say
But it all sounds a bit hollow
As bone spurs have successfully kept him
From harm’s way

CONFEDERATE HERITAGE


New Yorker tRump
Is concerned about Confederate heritage
But shouldn’t traitorous generals who lost battles
Be more appropriately confined to a hermitage?

Bragg, Benning, Hood
Are familiar to any Army veteran
But these names were bestowed
During Jim Crow with no future reflection

Unfortunately Confederate heritage
Is not only about honoring soldiers
Who fought bravely for a bad cause
But also about imbedded racism
Which should give us pause

Time for a national change
About attitudes on race
If you can’t see the hurt
You haven’t gotten to first base

If you can see the hurt
But don’t care
Maybe you’re really
Beyond repair

If you can see the hurt
But indeed rejoice
You made the
Confederate heritage choice

CONSPIRACY THEORY PRESIDENT


The Odious Orange Outrage
Has found a new conspiracy
A seventy-five-year-old white guy
Has faked a serious injury

It wasn’t human blood
Flowing from his ears
It was ketchup surreptitiously placed
By one of his evil leftist peers

Wait, wasn’t the Odious Orange Outrage
A leading birther voice
Obama was born in Kenya
And thus an illegal choice?

The Orange One feeds on conspiracies
Like his lies they do not bind
No need to prove or defend
Just go to the next in line

BUNKER BOY


AG Barr is disputing
tRump’s weird claim
That he was only inspecting the bunker
And was not on the lam

So what other such duties
Does tRump undertake?
Checking the White House oven
To see if his cake is baked?

Flushing the White House toilets
To make sure no overflow?
Examining the White House faucets
To make sure they in fact flow?

Testing the White House mousetraps
To determine if they do the job
Of murdering the nasty rodents
Who desire the cheese to rob?

So many things to inspect
It’s a wonder he is able
To be the President
And also set the table

GENERALS HAVE HAD ENOUGH


The unemployment rate
Gave tRump a bump
Finally a bit of good news
Following lump after lump

Now if his generals
Would just stop criticizing him
For using America’s military
To carry out his latest whim

Don’t they understand
The military is his Army?
He can do with it what he wants
He’ll make the generals sorry

The finest general of his generation
Has chimed in with his opinion
Former Joint Chiefs Chairman Colin Powell
Says tRump has drifted from the Constitution

Powell also said
tRump lies all the time
Most of us know this, however
tRump’s truthfulness is not worth a dime

Saturday, June 06, 2020

HUNKERING IN HIS BUNKER


Did tRump hunker in his bunker?
You darn well know he did
He crawled in way down deep
And yanked shut the lid

The Secret Service said
You can come out now, Sir
Are you really sure?
I’m still suffering from my bone spur

Muriel painted “Black Lives Matter”
On a street beside his place
He put up walls and barriers
But he can still feel the disgrace

His generals are in revolt
Melania’s message is peace
He hasn’t had a good week
And no golf for release

OVERWHELMING FORCE


OVERWHELMING FORCE

“An overwhelming show of force”
Was what Senator Cotton said was needed
To put the violent protests down
And police in Buffalo responded
By shoving Grandpa to the ground

How do you like them apples, Gramps?
Next time we’ll beat you senseless
We’re gonna teach you your place
And we will be relentless

Meanwhile, the Odious Orange Outrage
Continued his tone-deafness
Asserting the departed George Floyd
Would have approved of his economic adeptness
