Better to have a few rats than to be one

This is a president who will happily debase himself at the slightest provocation. And given Mr. Cummings’ criticisms of U.S. border policy, the various investigations he has launched as chairman of the House Oversight Committee, his willingness to call Mr. Trump a racist for his recent attacks on the freshmen congresswomen, and the fact that “Fox & Friends” had recently aired a segment critical of the city, slamming Baltimore must have been irresistible in a Pavlovian way. Fox News rang the bell, the president salivated and his thumbs moved across his cell phone into action.

TRUMP SWAMP (July 28)

How Donald does love to attack,

which he learned from the master Roy Cohn,

who he was known to kneel down before,

but, no, that is not where I'm goin'.

I will not stoop to employing the ploy,

of hinting Donald was one of Roy's blond pretty boys.

I prefer taking a higher tack

and simply suggest the Rat Pack is back,

with Donald, the chief, when he ain't grabbin' it

presiding over the rats in his cabinet.
