CNBC Headline: “Trump calls first 100 days a ‘ridiculous standard’ — even though he set it as a standard.”
Remember when Donald embraced
The 1st HUNDRED Days standard? He based
His campaign on a list
Of such goals, mostly missed.
Having failed, he’d declare it erased.

As Disrupter-in-Chief, Trump’s an ace,
And he certainly seems right on pace
To delib’rately cause
A government pause;
A shut-down to placate his base.
For he promised his fans he’d make waves,
Shake things up and then topple the knaves
Who keep government going
And tax money flowing,
Enforcing each reg that enslaves.
But he finds himself deep in a pickle.
His accomplishments? Not worth a nickel
So he needs a big drama;
A gov-shut-down trauma —
Even gullible fans can be fickle.

I agree: Holding a pep rally to compete with the White House Correspondents’ Dinner makes Trump look vain, insecure, and cowardly.
The Donald is holding a rally
To avoid being roasted. I’d tally
His compulsion to hide
From jokes that deride
As YUUUUGE … which may goose his finale.

An Alex Jones request, apparently made without any sense of irony:
“Alex Jones releases statement on his ongoing custody trial: ‘I urge the press to be respectful and responsible.'”
Dear Alex, you threw us a curve
And proved you still have quite the nerve
In requesting respect.
Hope the press will elect
To bestow the respect you deserve.

Remember when Trump promised to deliver a cyber-security plan by today? Well, apparently nothing’s been done.
Dear Donald, how’s Barron? The lad
(You have bragged) has computer skills rad.
So I simply must ask
How’s his over-due task:
Fixing cyber-secur’ty for dad.

Donald’s slogans are fashioned for chumps:
“Buy and Hire American?” Grumps,
Rightly irked by his game,
Notice somehow the same
Rules are spurned by the firms built by Trumps.

O’Reilly is OUT? Don’t appease me
And tease me with rumors that please me.
Oh it’s trending on Twitter?
I’ll giggle and titter:
Schadenfreude such news guarantees me.

Donald’s taxes? Don’t bother to press.
Who arrives at the White House? Just guess.
The transparency-hawk
Who knocked Dems will just balk,
While he blithely discloses much less.

Donald’s trashed yet another tradition,
While expanding disclosure attrition.
He is hiding from view
White House logs of his queue
Of visitors. Stealth is his mission.

Donald’s suddenly mired in disputes
With pal Putin. I’ve spotted the roots
Of their low in relations
And dreadful vibrations:
Trump must “prove” that they’re NOT in cahoots.

Ryan’s power and clout are in doubt;
Reign adrift from its rout in the bout
Over health care reform,
The repeal/replace storm
Leaving Paul with a leverage drought.

The Donald lays blame on Assad
For chemical warfare, but Vlad
Says Assad’s stash is barren;
Just rebels have sarin.
When two liars diverge, who’s the fraud?

The Harasser-in-Chief’s made his call:
Bill was wrong to make payments at all
To the gals he harassed.
Seems Trump is aghast;
His Compadre-in-Lust took the fall.

Trump staffers’ main job is to mask
Donald’s bullshit as truth; that’s their task.
So when queried, they lie
And distort and deny…
Till we wearily reach for a flask.

Bradd Jaffy (NBC News) on Twitter: “After no handshake with Merkel, President Trump brushes aside human rights concerns for not one but two handshakes with Egypt’s leader el-Sisi.”
Please recall when the Donald refused
To shake hands with Ms. Merkel. He oozed
Deep disdain. Then compare
Donald’s welcoming air;
Vile el-Sisi makes Trump all enthused.

Trump’s incensed, and I hate to sound dense,
But his grievance re Flynn makes no sense.
Donald hired a threat
To security; yet
The UNMASKING to Trump’s the offense.

I feel outrage-fatigue setting in,
For I’m sick of contending with spin
And disposing of lies,
While the man I despise
Smirks and drowns us in swamp-filled chagrin.

I’m avoiding the April Fools’ fuss
Cuz I’d rather just glower and cuss;
Dour Donald’s in power
And life has grown sour.
It seems that the joke is on US!
