Notes About The Poem

Trumpfoolery Skullduggery

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all of the time—Lincoln

Truth’s a slow lumbering giant As his fools remain compliant Lies bite and scurry To a clueless jury Nurtured to be spoiled and defiant

Robert, you have described our current state of affairs accurately. Sad to say, nothing different may happen unless we get favorable results in the November 2026 federal election. We're stuck until then. We hope that enough people wake up and realize that we have a monster psycho at the helm. He ordered the Venezuela boat bombing, and I'm not convinced it was carrying drugs. It may have been human trafficking since there were about a dozen people aboard. He illegally murdered them in international waters for the sake of a distraction. If I believed in hell, I would suspect that is where he's going.

If money is God, then Trump is His ill-begotten son. With SCOTUS and the GOP snuggly in his pocket, there needs to be a coast-to-coast awakening of we, the people. Cogent observation. Robert

A giant spoiled tyrant, yet the clueless jury worries me most, Robert. Another great Trumpeting limerick! Bump it with a trumpet. Besti keep them coming.

We, the jury, must also exercise our right as a judge and, in needed, executioner--n'est pas?!
