Profiles in Perfidy, XXIX. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!




Presidented Trump is saying: "Listen, when I wished Ghislaine Maxwell well, that's all I meant by it. . . . I mean, I just hope she hangs in there until she gets the destiny she deserves, and just so happens I think it might turn out very, very good. . . . I mean if she hangs in there. . . . But really, I just wish her well,. . . . All the rest is fake news!"

Profiles in Perfidy, XXVIII. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!



PresiDented Trumps is saying: "Chris, that's a terrible question, just awful, really, really bad. . . . If I win the election, I certainly wouldn't leave the White House. . . . That would against the Constitution. . . . And since I can't lose unless the Democrats cheat, it would be anti-American to leave because of their fraud. . . . I swear, you guys are becoming worse than fake news!"

Profiles in Perfidy, XXVII. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!




PresiDented Trump is saying: "You shouldn't think of them as secret police snatching peaceful protesters off the streets in Portland, but as monitors of aberrant behavior establishing norms through re-education. . . And, by the way, we're sending them to cities, both those besieged by violence and those likely to be besieged, all over the country. . . . You'll love it!"

PresiDented Trump is saying: "Now that there are only a few embers of the Chinese virus popping up here and there, we can get to our real business of fighting the radical left, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and thugs who are bent on destroying our country."

Profiles in Perfidy, XXV. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!




PresiDented Trump is saying: "And our new National Garden of American Heroes will practice inclusion rather than exclusion, acceptance rather than rejection, and diversity of thought and action rather than ideological purity. . . . For example, a lot of people don't know how much social good and political stability that the Klan promoted, but if we had a statue to one of the great Grand Dragons, kids could ask their parents and . . ."

Profiles in Perfidy, XXIV. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!



PresiDented ("I smell rubber burning; I must be thinking" ) Trump is thinking: "Geez. . . . The polls. . . . The virus. . . . The polls. . . . The disloyal Republican senators. The polls. . . . Freakin' Mike Pence, for Christ's sake. . . . The polls. . . . There must be someway out of this. . . . How can I distract everyone? . . . There's no one left to fire. . . . They won't let me exterminate illegal immigrants, but that might have worked. . . . And they won't let me even touch a gun. . . . Say, I know! . . . What about a war! . . . Iran just put out an arrest warrant on me. . . . Won't they surprised! . . . And I'll be a hero once again. . . . Anyway, who is going to stop me? . . . But I've got to get going before the Republican senators turn on me. . . . Damn, this governing is hard stuff."

"The Ninth Commandment is really just a suggestion." . . . Please come CAPTION Mike Pence!!!



Mike (Mr. False Witness) Pence is saying: "I can assure you that neither the president or I was briefed by our intelligence agencies that Russia had put a bounty on our soldiers in Afghanistan. . . . Just why is that so hard to believe?"

On the day with the highest number of new Covid cases. Please come CAPTION Fox's Trace Gallagher!!!




Trace Gallagher is saying: "Yes, Sandra, this is a historic day and we have lots of news to get to: The President is writing an executive order to punish those who desecrate federal statues, Seattle's CHOP district will likely be retaken by the city, a missing five-year-old boy was found hiding in his own basement, and the Santa Monica Bad-mitten Tournament will be temporarily postponed due to some (probably false) rumors about coronavirus."


****************************************************

Above CAPTION based on the fact that this clown didn't get to the virus for 12 minutes into a 10 a.m. Fox segment even though today's number of cases exceeded those of April and May during the once-in-a-century pandemic we are currently suffering!

Profiles in Perfidy, XXIII. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!



PresiDented Trump is saying: "I know that the coronavirus numbers are going up, but that's generally due to increased testing and actions (or should I say 'inactions') of certain states' governors, even some of them Republican. . . . They need to show stronger leadership. . . . I mean, they should take control of both reporting and recording and get rid of the so-called 'experts.'. . . . Then it will simply be a matter of time and the problem will be taken care of. . . . Simple."

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).
