№ 541.1: EXTRA! Trumped Up Sworn Statement

Otto Warmbier: Trump defends Kim over US student's death

Mr Trump said: "He tells me he didn't know about it, and I will take him at his word."

Kim says something's so,

so it's true. He's no liar.

Cohen says I'm a crook,

I reply, “Pants on fire!”

Truth I hold

depends upon the venyah.

Forget the facts,

Obama's from Kenya.

№ 492: Cheat Charity (it's the fraud that counts)

Guardian: Trump Foundation to shut down after lawsuit exposes ‘pattern of illegality’

Trump had used the charity to pay off legal settlements within his business and even to buy a painting of himself to hang in one of his golf clubs.

Today we've only a very short “pome”.

For Donald Trump, charity began at home.

And to be truthful, honest and fair

we do have to note it also stayed there.

№ 450: Trump Statement Of Principles

NYT: Donald Trump Is Lyin’ Up a Storm (Paywall)

Me? Lie? Like it's a “crime”

to fool Allah the people Allah the time?

Abe Lincoln wudda if he'd had social media.

But he did not! (You can check Wikipedia.)

So, say sometimes I lie. . .

Mostly it works. A guy's gotta try.

Some of my lies are highly reliable —

chapter and verse — straight from THE BIBLE*.

Okay, I distort, torture with words,

draw conclusions you know are absurd?

Let @failingTimes go fume and cuss.

Mike Pence says, “God is with us.”

No. CXXVI: My Favorite Lies

(with apologies to Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II)

Obama's from Kenya. I am successful.
I have not made the White House a cesspool.
I know of no one who has Russian ties.
These are a few of my favorite lies.

I'm super rich. I'm not suspected.
When I met the Pope, he genuflected.
I'm virile, a genius and very wise.
These are some more of my favorite lies.

I was not bankrupt, did not launder money
for Russian gangsters. Baldwin's not funny.
I am respected by U.S. Allies.
These are still more of my favorite lies.

When my "hair" blows over my eyes,
when I'm missing Vlad,
I simply retweet my favorite lies,
and then I don't feel “so sad”.
