№ 709.2: EXTRA! I Spells 'Em Like I Smells 'Em

Mark Esperanto? Trump Misnames His Defense Secretary in Tweet (Paywall)

THE GOLD HOUSE (October 22)

The reason I called him “Mark Esperanto”?
I'm The Lone Ranger. I want a Tonto.
A faithful companion who'll stand behind me
and always say, “Me follow you, Ke-mo sah-bee.”
I know I've got Pence to cover my tushy.
But I do not trust him. I think he's pushy.
He could engineer, I fear, a coup.
Which, in his position, is just what I'd do.
Though that is not something I've ever done,
since I never play unless I'm number one.
