A Spoonful of Donald
(Trumps the Virus Goin’ Round)
Coronavirus
Far from desirous
Worldwide, people fall like flies
Ignore fake news – Ignore those lies
It’s not too late
Promulgate
Be like me – I’m so great
Don’t let COVID dominate
Eradication
Medication
Big Pharma aiming for the moon
COVID cure can’t come too soon
Emphatic denials
Who needs drug trials
Presidential immunity
Be like me – I’ll set you free
Two words, “eradication” and “medication,” in a comment by Kim
on Ron Lavalette’s prosery (The Determining Factor) inspired this poem.

I cannot stand a bragging man like that. I think decency has to be brought back to presidency…. (I hope it will)

A cosmic joke, a kharmic harbinger, an idiot on a golden toilet, a sexist with a reduced libido, an amateur who has never become anything…your lyrical ballad is bang-on.

I too hope for the world’s sake he doesn’t win, at that he accepts defeat and steps down.

That last part could be a real nightmare. Will he need to be escorted out of the office?

It’s revolting that he can’t show even the tiniest bit of empathy for either the dead, or the recovered, and their families and friends. Lives have been upended by this disease and he can only encourage people not to protect themselves and everyone else, and pretend that it’s “nothing”. I suspect he’s still pretty drugged up, but even if he is not, there is no excuse for that behavior. (K)

Agreed. He’s a deplorable excuse for a human being.

The way this person makes me feel is the same way I felt with a terrible case of poison ivy. The more you scratch at it the worse it gets. The next month will be a circus that I hope leaves town — back to hell, where it belongs.

Great thoughts Ken! Does it mean he has discovered the vaccine and used it and now already been cured. This rightly shows his old self propagating lies again.

Fingers crossed. Meanwhile, the Canada-US border stays closed, which would seem to be a blessing in disguise. for Canadians.

I was listening to an interview with a Republican (wealthy) who said he only voted for Trump because he felt the Clintons were corrupted. When asked he said he likely will again because Joe Biden is too close to the Clintons. WTF. Must be missing something.
