Donald ("What's 'sacred' mean?" )Trump is tweeting: "Gold star families deserve utmost respect but shouldn't bite the hand that feds. Sad. #I'veGotProof"

The wet, hot, smelly dump in The White House . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!

"In for a dollar, in for a dump." . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!




Donald ("You've got the tab" )Trump is saying: "You bet I've got proof of what I really said to that guy's widow, the one who was shot in Africa, and I sure didn't say 'Well, he signed up for it' (even though that's literally true, just so you understand), . . . Furthermore, I didn't forget the man's name! . . . I'd actually love to show all of you the proof, believe me. . . . But out of respect to his grieving widow, I'll not produce it because that would only extend this issue and hurt her even more."

"When I call 'em, I call 'em!" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!



Donald (Mr. Empathy, himself) Trump is saying: "Peter, if you'll give me a minute. . . . What I meant was obvious: Obama might have had his secretary place a telephone call to grieving parents a couple times, but all he would do was just say a few words over and over and over again. A couple short sentences. . . . He probably had them all written down, or used a recording. . . . But when I call 'em, I call 'em!! . . . I say how hard it was to call and how calls like this really get me down. But how I'll still be a great president anyway, despite weak and ineffective congressional leaders. Then I thank them for their loss, and at that point if it's gone smoothly, I mean without too many tears, I tell them that if they have a few words I'd like to heard them and give them a half minute or so (do you know what my time is worth?), before I tell them I have got to go and be the president and make America great again! . . . Like I say: when I call 'em, I call 'em."

This man is a menace.

"The First Amendment was the worst amendment." . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!




Donald ("You don't have the right of free peaches, do you?" ) Trump is saying: "Wait. Just wait. . . Don't put words in my mouth. . . . I'm not against the First Amendment. . . . Not at all. . . . I'm just against some individuals or entities like NBC using it to destroy this nation. . . . By yanking their license, I'd be saving the Constitution, not undermining it. . . . That should be obvious."

"Leave the thinking to me!" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!



Donald (The Fart of the Spiel) Trump is saying: "I hate to contradict my critics, Sean, I really do, but pulling out of the Iran deal will make other countries more likely to trust us in future negotiations and treaties, not less. . . . They'll think I'm trying to use double-reverse psychology, trying not to get them to sign, take my bluffs as dares and think that white is black inside-out and to try to prove something to me and make me pay at the same time, they'll sign whatever I say. . . . It's like hey won't be able to help themselves. . . . (looks to the crowd) How can you stand all this winning? . . Huh?"

Playing Russian Roulette with a loaded revolver. . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!



Donald ("Don't worry I know what I'm dew-wings" )Trump is saying: "All you have to know about the so-called Iran deal is one thing: its real name. The swamp and fake news call it the 'Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action,' or JCPOA for short. But do you know what other thing JCPOA might stand for? How about the 'Japanese-Croatian People's Office of Anarchy'? . . . Think about it."

Sitting in the catbird seat. . . . Please come CAPTION Mike Pence!!!



Mike ("It won't be long now" ) Pence is saying: "In answer to your question, sir, the 25th Amendment simply says that public officials cannot check books out of a public library without a card, just like everyone else. . . . No exceptions. . . . Nothing to concern you, Mr. President. Trust me."
October 11, 2017

"Just one little missile, please!" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!




Donald ("Being able to destroy the earth twenty times over isn't even one-tenth enough." ) Trump is saying: "I still don't see why we can't shoot off even one nuclear bomb . . . . Just one little one is all I'm asking. . . . Both John and Rex said I could get one thing that I wanted if I didn't tweet about McConnell for a whole day. . . . Remember? . . . You can ask them if you want, . . . I mean if you don't want to take my word for it, . . . and I'm your president, remember?"

"I'd wipe his butt in a moron contest!" . . . Please comne CAPTION Donald Trump!!




Donald ("He can't even talk right" ) Trump is thinking: “Boy, I’d really clean his whistle in an I.Q. test cause I looked it up. It means Intelligence Quotient and Intelligence means Smart and Quotient means like Dividing or something. Therefore IQ means Smart Division, which is like long division but smarter. . . . Rex won’t know what hit him.”

About skip fox

I am retired, now a professor emeritus at University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where I taught in the English department for 37 years. I've written 4 chapbooks and 5 full-sized books (all listed as poetry though many include other genres as well), including _Sheer Indefinite: Selected Poems, 1991-2012 (Univ. of New Orleans Press, 2012). I've also written a 500+ page bibliography of three contemporary poets: Robert Creeley, Ed Dorn, and Robert Duncan. I am writing now, both fiction and poetry, more now than ever. My first vote for President of the United States was for Dick Gregory in 1968 (Bowling Green, Ohio). Favorite quote: "It's easy to be an idealist if you don't have to mind the evidence, but no one said it was supposed to be easy" (Richard LaPauvre).
