№ 686.1: EXTRA! My Way

Trump’s communications with foreign leader are part of whistleblower complaint that spurred standoff between spy chief and Congress, former officials say (Paywall)

Trump’s interaction with the foreign leader included a “promise” that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the U.S. intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general for the intelligence community. . .

ORTHEHIGHWAY (September 19)

What's this about?
How can this be?
Doesn't the government
work just for me?
Say, I decide
(not that I did)
to tell Kim
something CIA
thinks should be hid.
Wonderful guys
my CIA spies
but they never looked
into Kim's eyes.
Something I think
he needs to know
although the CIA
doesn't think so.
Kim's a good guy.
He is my pal.
He writes me letters
that make smile.

If I tell Vlad
stuff that makes him glad.
How is that bad?
I mean so what
if somebody's shot?
Vlad's a great guy.
I like him a lot.
Very strong leader.
A leader like me.
And don't get me started
on President Xi
to whom I say little
lest he tariff me.

....let's leave it at: I can not tell a lie.

WHENEVER I speak, what I say is true,

even if  “facts” say there not.

If you don't agree, let me tell you,

in Russia you would be shot.

Dear Mother Russia, where my pal Putin,

a GREAT & STRONG leader (frankly, a flirt.)....

....I'm taller and smarter. And better looking.

Moreover, I own a shirt.
