“Turning and turning in the widening gyre,
Sean Spicer cannot find the teleprompter;
Things fall apart; the White House cannot hold;
Pure incompetence is loosed upon the world,
The bungling tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of sanity is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the amateurs
Are full of Trumpian intensity.”
— William Butler Jørgen (Jørgen Laursen)
There should be a new drink called “The Donald Trump Presidency.” Any cheap Russian vodka will do, but the secret ingredient is that it needs to be bought illegally over the Internet.
Pour it in a “yuge” glass, stir it up like misguided populism, and insist that it’s “GREAT,” even if tastes like piss. Then drink it until you’re a racist braggart and an imbecile who can’t form coherent sentences — or at least until you make sexually suggestive remarks about your own daughter.
It might taste like a bitter pill to a majority of Americans, but certain Republicans will cheerfully swallow it down like a fake news story. The only danger is to Republican partygoers is that they might grow so belligerent that they fight amongst themselves, dividing their party.

Of course it makes sense that Christian voters see Donald Trump as the candidate God wants. Haven’t you read the Bible?
Jesus embraced the money lenders, mocked the sick, built a wall to keep the Samaritans out, and then turned around and grabbed Mary Magdalene by the pussy.
Rearrange the letters of Donald Trump’s name and you get “Tan Dump Lord.”
Not to mention “Damp Old Runt,” “Dolt and Rump,” and “Odd Rant Lump.”
M’jus’ sayin’.
I smelled something burning, and I thought I’d left the stove on downstairs.
So, Trump says he might not defend certain NATO allies unless he’s satisfied they’ve paid a requisite amount of money owed to the United States.
Hey, what do you expect when a landlord wants to be President of the United States? This is, after all, the Manhattanite who was collecting overdue rent from city tenants during the Vietnam War.

A few friends of mine were joking yesterday about “The Making of Trump,” a documentary aired last year by the dubiously named History Channel.
I told them he probably talked them into it by promising them a wall to protect them from “Ancient Aliens.”
So all my British friends are lamenting their country’s departure from the European Union.
I tell them I’ll cheerfully trade them our Trump for their Brexit. I’ll even throw in a gun problem and Kanye West.
