Donald Trump loves to rant, rave, and whine,
Like when two-timing Fox crossed the line:
Air a speech by Obama?
How dare they! What trauma!
Donald’s view: “They should only air mine!”

Sunday, August 18th, 2019Headline: “Trump Blames ‘Racism Witch Hunt’ for Low Poll Numbers”
Donald’s numbers seem stuck in a slump,
And the media caused it, claims Trump:
It’s “a Racism Witch Hunt.”

Self-pitying tweet from his rump.)
Trump Puts Press At Risk (Limerick)
Thursday, August 9th, 2018Headline: “Media boost security as Trump ramps up ‘enemy’ rhetoric”
When the media covers Trump rallies,
It’s as risky as ent’ring dark allies.
Donald’s shown us his cards,
So the press now needs guards
Due to menacing crowds and threat tallies.
Open Limerick To The White House Press
Monday, August 6th, 2018White House briefings don’t give us the news.
No instead they spread self-serving views
And start lie-fest infernos.
They demonize journos.
Why attend them? The press should refuse.
Trump Incites Violence Against Journalists (Limerick)
Thursday, June 28th, 2018Donald constantly bashes the press,
Which adds to the media’s stress
And imperils their lives;
With his words Trump contrives
To inspire his base to aggress.
If Only Trump Could Write Limericks…
Saturday, June 16th, 2018Headline: “Trump grumbles that North Korea deal not earning wide praise”
My deals are the best! They’re top drawer!
I’ve saved millions from nuclear war.
So where is my credit?
Fake News of course shred it.
I’ll sue till they tell me, “J’adore!”
GOP Pols Only Have Themselves To Blame (Limerick)
Friday, November 17th, 2017PoliticalWire Headline: “The Conservative War on the Media Backfires”
Republican pols have been training
Their voters, through lie-packed complaining,
To reject any news
That might challenge their views–
A great aid to Moore’s Senate campaigning.
The Trump Threat (Limerick)
Saturday, October 21st, 2017Is Donald a threat to free press?
Well of course my response must be yes.
But much more is in peril
From President Feral;
There’s no end to his menacing mess.

As I train my brain
on our Oval Office bane,
staying sane’s a strain.

Trump v. The Press (Limerick)

The media, trying to score on

The fellow’s a bitter
And nasty old man and a MORON!
A Trumpian Perspective (Limerick)
Saturday, September 30th, 2017Unsupportive opinions? Flake views!
Unflattering numbers? A ruse!
No matter the topic,
The Donald’s myopic;
If it isn’t pro-Trump, it’s “Fake News!”
“Fake News” Hypocrisy (Limerick)
Tuesday, May 30th, 2017Trump, who loves to slam “unnamed sources” as “fake news,” retweeted “FOX & friends” today:
Jared Kushner didn’t suggest Russian communications channel in meeting, source says.
“Unnamed sources are bad! They spread lies.”
It’s “fake news” when they’re used, Donald cries.
And yet sources unnamed
Who’ve loudly proclaimed
Stuff he likes? Those are upright and wise.
Limerick Ode To Newt’s Latest Temper Tantrum
Tuesday, January 24th, 2012Newt Gingrich seemed way off his game at last night’s Florida debate. And at first, I attributed this to Mitt Romney’s new, improved debating style.
But Newt apparently needs the adrenalin rush that comes with cheers and applause. And last night’s NBC debate rules precluded such a rush: Audience feedback was limited, in the interest of using the time for actual debating.
So now Newt (always on the outlook for another excuse to bash the media) is petulantly threatening to boycott any debate that limits the audience’s free speech:
Mr. Gingrich’s performance in the debate in Tampa on Monday night was far more muted. Critics noted that he seemed to be off his game. The National Journal, which co-hosted the NBC debate, compared Gingrich to “a stand-up comedian whose routine suffers without echoes of laughter egging him on.”
Mr. Gingrich clearly noticed something was off, too. “We’re going to serve notice on future debates,” he told Fox. “We’re just not going to allow that to happen. That’s wrong. The media doesn’t control free speech. People ought to be allowed to applaud if they want to.”
Hmmm…., I wonder how Newt feels about boos.
Limerick Ode To Newt’s Latest Temper Tantrum
By Madeleine Begun Kane
No cheering at last night’s debate!
This has Gingrich quite peeved and irate.
He says cheers from the crowd
Simply must be allowed.
Without cheers, will Newt Gingrich deflate?
