“Trump 2028″ apparel is now on sale at the Trump Organization’s online store. Is he really planning an unconstitutional run for a third term? Or is this just another of Trump’s money-making cons?
Will the Donald attempt a third term?
It’s illegal, most experts confirm.
But a mere thing like laws
Rarely gives Donald pause.
So expect a 4th run from that worm!
Donald Trump is a liar and nut.
He’s a menace; his evil’s clear-cut.
There’s no end to his gall.
He’s a danger to all,
And these truths should be open-and-shut!
Precious freedom, alas, is at stake!
Dire jeopardy! Each day we wake
To more headlines that scare us,
As Trump seems to dare us
To dodge each malevolent quake.
My great pride in our nation’s high station
Has sustained a substantial deflation
Caused by Trump and his cronies
Plus GOP phonies
Who’ve enabled Trump’s self-coronation.
Take a callous compulsion to bend
Pesky laws, plus a greed without end.
Add great ignorance, malice,
And lust for a palace.
Voilà! “The Rapacious Trump Blend!”
To the Trump-loving creep:
“Call me woke. I won’t weep.
You ain’t clever or deep.
Now just go back to sleep!”
Headline: “Trump Announces 25% Tariffs on Imported Cars Effective April 2” (NOTE: This includes American brands assembled abroad.)
Do you need a new car? Then don’t wait!
Buy it now! Beat that Trump-tariff date.
For despite Donald’s scorn,
Fine economists warn:
Car-price surges will soon be our fate.
Rhyming “serious” has made me rather delirious:
Trump’s behavior is worse than imperious!
(Yes, this lim’rick ain’t funny; it’s serious.)
That vile felon’s our bane,
For alas, Donald’s reign
Is much more than a bit deleterious.
My latest political limerick was largely inspired by this CNBC headline: “‘I’m not going to bend at all’: Trump doubles down on tariff plans as stocks sink”
(Not surprisingly, “Trump doubles down on…” is becoming an over-used, albeit exceedingly appropriate, headline phrase.)
Trump is doubling down on his madness,
Which increases my anger and sadness.
He’s insane and perverse
And keeps making things worse.
There’s no limit, alas, to his badness.
When I’m writing, I struggle to squeeze in
Lots of humor and wit and to season
All my poems with wordplay;
Perhaps absurd nerd-play.
I’ve failed? Donald’s treason’s the reason!
Though I try not to whine, moan, or mope,
I am finding it taxing to cope
With our nation’s ruination
And Donald’s castration
Of all who might lend us some hope.
My dear Trump, it’s a shame you’re so boring;
Last night’s speech was the inverse of soaring!
Though your acts are unbound,
That dull, monotone sound
Sent a shit-load of viewers a-snoring.
Dearest Dems who attend Donald’s speech,
I had better not see your arms reach
Out to shake that man’s hand.
Such an act should be banned…
And don’t clap for that lawbreaking leech!
Mayor Eric Adams has made a deal with Donald “The Devil” Trump: In return for Trump’s making Adams’ pesky indictment go away, Adams will violate NY law by cooperating with Trump’s immigration (and perhaps other) policies. To make matters even worse, Trump has ensured Adams’ cooperation by making the indictment’s dismissal “without prejudice.” In other words, if Adams stops cooperating, Trump can get the indictment reinstated.
Fortunately, Governor Kathy Hochul has the legal power to remove Mayor Adams from office. But so far, she’s still weighing her decision. My limerick urges her to do the right thing and fire Mayor Adams right away.
Mayor Adams is now owned by Trump.
He’s been bought, so when Trump tells him “Jump,”
Adams asks him “How high?”
And so I must ask “Why
Doesn’t Hochul give Adams the dump?”
Headline: “Trump Keeps Floating A Possible Third Term”
Trump is eyeing a THIRD term. (Big Sigh!)
Is it likely that Donald will try?
Experts deem it illegal,
But Trump thinks he’s regal–
That there’s nothing his power can’t buy.
Washington Post Headline: “Republican skeptics cave on Trump’s most controversial Cabinet picks”
The Republican Sens. are compliant;
Against Donald they’re rarely defiant,
Which means bad nominees
Are approved with great ease…
Although each one’s the inverse of giant.
The Donald is flooding the zone
With horrors that none should condone.
But his party just cowers,
Supporting “Trump’s powers.”
No objections or gripes — not a groan!
Pushing buttons is Donald’s great gift.
(That along with his talent for grift.)
The man glories in setting
Folks off who (while fretting)
Forget they must act when they’re miffed.

Our Constitutional Collapse (Limerick)
Thursday, February 6th, 2025I used to be able to write funny limericks. But these days, most of them are serious and depressing. This excellent Karen Tumulty column largely inspired this one:
An Executive Branch run amok!
Sen. “Advice and Consent?” No such luck!
Our Democracy’s hacked
And our nation’s soul’s cracked.
So what else can one say except FUCK!?!
