№ 494: A Trumpy Little Christmas

New York Magazine: Donald Trump Hates Christmas Parties


One person close to the White House told me, “It makes perfect sense” that Trump hates the entire production surrounding Christmas, “because it’s not about him!” This person added, “If it were about him, he’d love it. Christmas is not about him.”

Have yourself a miserable Christmas
I can't really see
Any good in celebrating anything but me

Have yourself a miserable Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Tell Mike Pence that is not a word I say

We're going back to beholden days
People-sold-in days before
Democrats who are Socialists
cared about “the poor

Someday soon I will build a wall
If Nancy will allow
Until then I'll keep immigrants at bay somehow
And they'll have a miserable Christmas now.
