"I'll bet he gets lousy ratings!" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!



Watching the Comey testimony Donald ("I rather be playing golf&quot Trump is thinking: "Damn. . . . What can I do? . . . I know, I could issue a pardon for me which will work for all the future. . . . But some lawyers would probably poke holes in it. . . . I know, I could declare martial law and take over the entire government. . . . But most of the generals hate me. . . . I know, I could give myself immunity and then come clean. . . . But those damn lawyers . . . ! . . . Hell, I know what I'll do!! Where did I leave my phone?"

Donald ("God has to ask me for loans&quot Trump is saying: "Listen, I've got nothing personally against this Khan, the so-called Mayor of London, . . . I mean, he seems nice enough, though awfully small, . . . but just look at his name, . . . 'Sadiq Khan.' . . . Why he's not even ashamed enough to change it to a good Christian name. . . Geez! . . . See what I'm dealing with here?"

Donald ("Tired of winning yet?&quot Trump is saying: "So what if there hasn't been any legislation? . . . 'Legislation' is just another word for people who don't know what they're doing. . . . And what if Repeal and Replace is on hold? . . . That's going exactly as I planned. . . . It's going to be great! . . . And who really cares if we don't have a budget yet? . . . I mean budgets are boring, right? . . . And what's all this about my weakening traditional alliances and emboldening our traditional enemies? . . . A lot of traditions are stupid, right? . . . All in all I'd rate my first four-and-a-half months of my administration a stunning success. . . . Off the charts! . . . There's never been anything like it. . . . That's what a lot of people are saying."

Sean (third mortgage on soul) Hannity is saying: "No President has had to weather such abuse by his critics, not one! . . . All day long, it's 'Russia,' 'Russia,' 'Russia.' . . . That's all they can say, . . . and when there's not one shred of evidence pointing to collusion with the Trump team. . . . And everybody knows that's the same as saying all the evidence points to the fact that there was no collusion whatsoever. . . . Nothing. . . . Nada. . . . End of story! . . . Elementary logic would tell you that!"

I wonder when they're going to add music to these things?"

Which is like the highest ever."

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).
