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!"

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!"

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. . . .

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).
