TNR: “Donald Trump was furious that Alina Habba Mildon allegedly was paid $50 million to help secure a presidential pardon for a Venezuelan billionaire family—and didn’t share it with him.”
Donald doesn’t want bribes to decrease
And he sure doesn’t want them to cease.
He loves thiev’ry and fraud;
Acts he’ll pardon, e’en laud . . .
On receipt of a sizable piece.
My Dear Pols, please stop sending me trash.
All your spam’s made me ready to smash
My computer and phone;
I am sick to the bone
Of contenders soliciting cash!
I am jittery, anxious, and scared
And it’s time for my fears to be aired:
I’m afraid the upheaval
From Donald Trump’s evil
Can NOT be reversed or repaired.
A vile felon who’d spitefully spout
Countless lies to incite fear and doubt,
Loved to growl, howl, and scowl,
As he’d blithely befoul
All he touched via ill-gotten clout.
Ev’ry day I’m perturbed
And upset and disturbed.
Donald needs to be stopped;
Failing that, at least curbed.
Donald Trump is a madman, I swear!
Was it nature, or nurture? Don’t care!
Asking why he’s insane
Is a waste of one’s brain.
We must fight him and lay his crimes bare!
Though I try not to act like a grump
And I certainly don’t mean to dump
On the people who swear
“Karma’s real,” I must air
This rough dare: Please explain Donald Trump.
Am I targeting Trump with my verse?
That vile man whose behavior gets worse
With each day that goes by?
Yes I am, and here’s why:
Donald’s reign is a scourge and a curse!
Donald Trump’s cast a blight on DC,
Ruining landmarks with wrecking-ball glee.
He has sullied this place
With fake gold and his face.
Has he done this for Putin? Or Xi?
WSJ: “Behind Closed Doors, John Fetterman Shows Little Interest in the Work of a Senator”
Former staffers report that John Fetterman
Isn’t one of our DC go-getter men:
He’s lost int’rest in doing
His job. (Cue the booing.)
I’m stewing! The Dems need much better men!
Trump’s Iran War of Choice has been stressful
And expensive and wasteful and mess-ful.
It’s a plan-free production
Of senseless destruction
And death. What it’s NOT is “successful!”
“US Mint officially launches $1 coin featuring Trump”
Donald’s ego needs stroking incessant,
Like the “Trump dollar coins” from Scott Bessent:
Coins by Trump’s face debased,
As he keeps laying waste
To our land. What a vile adolescent!
NYMag Headline: “Trump’s Midterms Plan: Drop $400 Million on Self-Promotion”
Our economy’s deep in a slump,
And the White House now looks like a dump . . .
So Trump’s RIGHT: I agree
That the midterms must be
About President Donald J. Trump.
My Dear Canada: Trump has abused you,
And misused you, and falsely accused you.
On behalf of the sane
U.S. folks who remain,
I am sorry . . . and hope I’ve amused you!
When you think about Donald, don’t quail,
Or lose hope or freak out and/or wail.
Though he’s hard to endure,
Please resist! Help secure
A huge GOP midterm-vote fail!
It appears I’m addicted to rhyme.
I write limericks all of the time.
Some are light. Some are deep.
Some I write in my sleep.
Some mock Trump, which (thus far) ain’t a crime.
Donald Trump is both selfish and callous.
He starts wars based on whim, greed, and malice.
He’s a coarse, lazy ass,
Whose main goal’s to amass
Power, wealth, and a crass gilded palace.
Our great nation’s been suff’ring upheaval;
A wrecked victim of Donald Trump’s evil.
Has democracy shed
So much blood that it’s dead?
Please convince me it’s NOT past retrieval!
Do you feel like you aren’t successful?
Do your days seem increasingly stressful?
Is the world too chaotic
Cuz Donald’s despotic?
Here’s my fix! (No, I jest; Life’s too mess-ful!)

Musing About The News (Limerick)
October 9th, 2026The political scene’s made me weary,
And the onslaught of news makes me bleary.
As election day nears,
My tense mental state veers
Between guardedly hopeful and leery.
