Day 342
Trump’s on vacation at his Mar a Lago property
And doing what he loves best, whacking golf balls off a tee.
Since he has been in office, he’s spent one third of his days
Vacationing on Trump-owned land, far from reporters’ gaze.
He’s on vacation one-third time and playing golf, one-fourth.
He tries to hide but long-range lenses watch him sally forth.
He criticized Obama’s golfing but Trump’s way ahead.
It’s twice as much, statistics show, in spite of what Trump said.
His strategy, hypocrisy, if you demand a name.
He manufactures clothes in China. Life is just a game
You try to win and you keep score with life style and with cash
And letting others eat his losses adds to Donald’s stash.
He takes time out from golfing just to tweet and start a fight
Or he is watching Fox and Friends because they treat him right.
Reports that do not praise him, he will label as “fake news.”
And White House staff have all learned of the shortness of his fuse.
The Russian Thing
The hemorrhoids of Donald’s lawyers now must really itch.
They need to show Mike Flynn is a lying son of a bitch.
In spite of what the Donald said, that Flynn is a good man,
They’ll have to represent that Donald never was a fan.
There’s so much on the record with Trump singing Mike Flynn’s praise.
Obama warned him: don’t hire Flynn; that set Trump’s mind ablaze.
So he put Mike Flynn on the team to lead the NSA.
Who knows what knowledge lurks within the brain of Flynn today? (1)
Now Flynn’s cooperating with Bob Mueller; ulcer time!
The White House lawyer’s fear that Flynn knows all the grime and slime.
He talked a lot with Russians; he knows who did what with whom.
And when he tells Bob what he knows, will that spell Donald’s doom?
Republicans know, if Trump goes, they’ll lose their grip on power,
So they’ll back him, no matter what, although the taste is sour.
They’re smearing Flynn; they’re smearing Bob, no matter what he files.
But Mike flynn’s talking; Trump is panicked; and Bob Mueller smiles.
And still, we have to ask, why Donald has not done a thing
About the Russian interference. Does he think their sting
Will always be on Donald’s side and are you puzzled why
The Russians helped Republicans down ballot, not just high?
Should we not be suspicious that Vlad likes Republicans?
Historically, Republicans, of all Americans,
Have been the most opposed to Russians, Communists and now.
What do the Russians know about their character, and how?
