"Problem with Confederate statues? I have the answer." . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!




Donald (Off his rocket) Trump is saying: "Nobody can figure out what to do about the Confederate statues in the South and in our capitol. . . . What's the big deal? . . . It's easy, have them tear the statues down and replace them with statues of me. . . . You know: me on horseback, . . . me freeing the slaves. . . . Use your imagination. . . . I don't understand why everyone thinks these things are so hard!"

"Didn't you see what they refused to show?" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!



Donald ("What's wrong with your eyes, anyway?" )Trump is saying: “There were people in that rally — and I looked the night before. I saw them clearly on t.v. . . . If you look, there were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee. . . . But the cameras wouldn’t show them, because they’re fake news.”

"Is my head on straight?" . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Melissa Francis!!!!



Melissa ("You never know when you'll need a tissue" ) Francis is saying: "Guys, I know there were hundreds of injuries, and one person was killed, and the sights we saw on the streets of America will be a terrible stain on the history of his country, but the real crime here is that some people might think I'm racist!"

"Goodbye. Farewell. See you on the other side. Please don't call." Come CAPTION Steve Bannon!!!



Steve Bannon is singing:

"Another turning point, a fork stuck in a toad
Time grabs you by the throat, tells you to drop a load,
So make the best of this mess, and don't ask why
It's not an answer, but a disaster learned in time,
It's something unconditional, but it's alt.right.
I hope to see the end of your life!"
August 18, 2017

"So, you want to see 'presidential,' do you?" . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!

"Diogenes, here I am." . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!



Donald Trump is saying: "Excuse me! . . . Excuse me! . . I saw violence against the alt.right as you call them coming from the other side. . . . And each and every one of you saw it too, organized, hate-filled, brutal violence! . . . . But you're fake news and won't report it. . . . Just like you won't admit all of your are really racists at heart, . . . or you won't admit how profoundly gratifying it can be to savage your enemies and anyone else you want, . . . or you won't admit how great it would be to have sex with your family, . . . . Well, even you should be able to see where I'm going: All of you are as disgusting as I am, only you want to make me feel my ideas aren't mainstream!!!"

"Only my life matters!" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!




Donald (Born in Arrears) Trump is saying: "It's not like Charlottesville happened on my watch!. . . . If it wasn't for bad actors like Obama who worked up crowds about civil rights and justice for everyone, this mob wouldn't never have attacked the Unification March, I think is what they called it. . . . I'm trying to be fair. . . You can't blame me for what these left wing thugs are thinking."

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).
