"What's the big deal? You can't even see it!". . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!




PresiDented ("I'm the genius of our times" ) Trump is saying: "Let's pass this shit around, Matt. . . . The sooner everybody gets it and gets well, the sooner the market will rebound."

"It'll be great for morticians and funeral directors." . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!




PresiDented Trump is saying: "But then I realized that we have the best scientists and labs in the world. . . . I mean, why should we take testing formulas or procedures from anyone else like a China or the World Health Organization? . . . Besides the delay bought us valuable time to think things through without a panic like you're seeing in other countries."

"We're all after the real facts about the virus." . . . Please come CAPTION Lindsey Graham!




Lindsey Graham is saying: "President Trump has got the best experts in the world working on the virus and our response while doing his utmost to safeguard the American public. I can assure you that he is taking this crisis with the utmost gravity and giving it his complete and undivided attention."

"Maybe they weren't using the right prayers." . . . Please come CAPTION Mike Pence!!!



(Imagine picture of Pence at the podium in the Situation Room presser yesterday or two days ago.)


Mike ("I rode a tricycle until I was seventeen" ) Pence is saying: "The President is exactly right when he tells the Democrats not to politicize this, . . . but knowing them I can tell you right now they won't listen to a thing. . . . Trust me when I tell you that they'd rather see millions die, families destroyed, and the American economy in severe depression rather than see our great President Donald Trump reelected. . . . Let's keep politics out of this entire matter!"

"I'll double-down on you in a New York second!" . . . Please come CAPTION Presidented Trump!!!




PresiDented Trump is saying: "No, No, what I said was exactly so. It was perfect! Coronavirus (or COVID-19 as I call it) may well disappear like magic, or in terms of science, the air clears in spring and business begins to get better all over the place. . . . It only stands to reason. . . . But then again things could get worse for a while. . . . Regardless, we've gotdeades of expertise and competenca. . . . all the bases are covered, as they say in football. . . . Believe me."

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



PresiDented Trump is saying: "Listen, if the election is stolen from me, whether by illegal voting and fraud, or by something completely beyond my control, like this so-called Coronavirus (which if you ask me is the biggest fraud of all time), I've got the right to fight back any way I know how!"

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




PresiDented Trump is saying: "My critics would like you to think this administration's reaction to the Coronavirus has been inadequate, when in fact we're right on top of it. . . . Everything is under control. . . . In fact today I'm ordering that dictionaries be stripped of the word 'pandemic,' which is really an ugly word if you think about it, and that no government official use the word in public. . . . Now you just watch, the Democrats will say that this will be ineffectual or even counter-productive, . . . but then they'll say just about anything to get elected."

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

?itok=DWjDAp5H


PresiDented Donald ("You want I should take a dump in this punch-bowl?" ) Trump is saying: "I simply don't believe in pandemics. . . . I didn't even know there was such a word until yesterday. . . . 'Pandemic' sounds like the name of a blockbuster movie, . . . but movies don't kill people. . . . There's nothing to worry about."
February 26, 2020

Profiles in Piss-It-All-Away! . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!



PresiDented Trump is saying: "How to deal with the Coronavirus? . . . Keep an extra tissue around. . . . You know, they come in those handy little packs that can fit into your pocket. . . . Nothing to worry about. . . . By the way, I learned all this from Michele Bachmann."
February 25, 2020

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




PresiDented (Fingers-crossed) Trump is saying: "Listen, smart-ass, I never asked for foreign assistance no matter what you in the fake news, like lying CNN, reported. . . . I can't help it if they look at our country and our elections and realize just how terrible the Democrats are, . . . Well, if they want to interfere, that's their business. It's none of ours."

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).
