No. CXXIV.I: EXTRA! Don't Bother

USA Today: Trump presses Mexico's Peña Nieto to stop publicly opposing border wall

"If you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that," Trump said in a January call, according to the Washington Post.


(With apologies to Stephen Sondheim ("Send In The Clowns")

Son of a bitch.
One thing is clear.
I've got to keep out all immigrants
or it's my career.
Send in the clowns.

Whatever I tweet,
Congress won't move
As much as I lie,
my folks still approve.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

When I try to start
building my wall,
never acknowledging
the idea is screwball,
holding my rallies again,
with my beautiful hair.
Same old stale lies.
Does anyone care?

I am a farce.
Don't you agree?
Whatever else this is,
it's great late night TV.
And where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're me.
