Collectibles

My son collected baseball cards;
My brothers did, as well.
My Beatles card collection
Was the female parallel.

But there’s an opportunity
For everyone to buy – 
Although it’s hard to understand
A decent reason why – 

Some trading cards that feature Trump
In poses quite bizarre – 
An astronaut, a cowboy
And the weirdest one so far – 

A superhero with a body
So unlike Trump’s own,
It would be quite ridiculous,
But somehow it is known

That people buy them!
Shelling out, for every NFT,
Enough to question what’s become
Of each one’s sanity.

How low can one man really sink
To hawk himself this way?
It’s mortifying to confront
Such ego on display.

As low as DJT has sunk, he can always sink lower... and let's not forget President Jimmy Carter, while President, giving an interview to Playboy in 1978 (!) confessing as to how he 'lusted after women in his heart.' How low can you go, 'Jimmy?!' ~ Disgusted

Did you hear him promoting his cards, oh I had to shut it off! I couldn't bare it; he really is a dull man.

He is as fantastic as ever! Selfless, humble, and adorable, but misunderstood and maligned. Since no one was ever similar, or will ever be, cards could turn out a good investment.

Ilene, you are so right, collecting Beatle collector cards is one thing, but Trump is a disgrace, it is equal to collecting Putin collector cards, wonderful writing, well done, blessings
