Trump Poetry
Two famous poems as reimagined by Donald J. Trump.
The Second Coming
Originally by W.B. Yeats
As Redone by Donald J. Trump (via Murray Attaway)So, we’ve got all this turning, right?
Lots of movement in the gyre
No one knows what a gyre is, but I’ve got smart people on it
The best people, really
The falcon can’t even hear this falconer
We all know why that is, right?
Because this falconer we’ve got, he’s a loser!
Things falling apart everywhere, the center with no hold
A center can’t be held by a loser!
Blood everywhere, and why? No conviction!
Our enemies? They’ve got conviction. I admire them, I do!
You know who else has conviction? I do!
Wait until you see my conviction. It’s huge!
More here.
And then . . .
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Originally by Robert Frost
As Redone By Donald J. Trump (via The Rotting Post)I have a pretty good idea whose woods these are, believe me.
And let me tell you something, my people say he’s a complete nobody.
This guy lives in the village. So what if he sees me stopping here?
I dare him to sue me! I dare him!And by the way, this snow is pathetic.
These are by far, the least downy flakes ever!
I hear they had to import them from Canada.
I don’t know. Maybe they did. Maybe they didn’t. We’re looking into it.My horse – he’s the most incredible horse, seriously,
I have the greatest, the classiest horses –
My horse doesn’t even know what the hell we’re doing here.
More here.
Ding.

The farting horse will never tire;
The farting man’s the man to hire.
Haven’t laughed so hard in weeks. Thanks, Patterico.

“Warm words and push to improve ties with Moscow aren’t shared by Barack Obama, Republican presidential rivals.”
“Mr. Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, has proposed redrawing a wide range of U.S. policies, including tax and immigration rules, trade agreements and engagement in the Middle East. But in no area has he been more persistent—and perhaps more consistent—than his call to improve relations with Mr. Putin, an authoritarian figure often at odds with the U.S.”
“It’s unclear whether Messrs. Trump and Putin have spoken since the campaign began. They have exchanged pleasantries in public statements, but remain coy about whether they have had private discussions.
“I believe an easing of tensions, and improved relations with Russia—from a position of strength only—is possible, absolutely possible,” Mr. Trump said in a foreign-policy speech at Washington’s Mayflower Hotel in April. “Some say the Russians won’t be reasonable. I intend to find out.”
A few minutes before he made those remarks, Mr. Trump met at a VIP reception with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Ivanovich Kislyak. Mr. Trump warmly greeted Mr. Kislyak and three other foreign ambassadors who came to the reception.”
