Trump’s ballroom for security? But surely Donald jests. (1)
Will access then be limited to just the richest guests,
Who possibly have given Trump a well-timed, golden gift,
Which thereby indicates support for Donald’s graft and grift?
If all events like last week’s dinner were held in Trump’s room,
Security would be the tightest; nothing would go, “Boom!”
There’ll be a bunker underneath; Trump could drop into it.
(And also drop comedians, if they gave Donald shit.)
The White House Correspondents Dinner hired a “mentalist,” (2)
Who, I might note, did not predict the running anarchist.
And, once again, Trump tweets that Jimmy Kimmel must be fired
For saying what he would have said, were he the “host” they hired.
If Donald had his golden ballroom, would he be content?
He’d never have to leave his house, a purring president.
And, only Fox and OAN would cover him each day
And they would only show what Donald wanted them to say.
The White House Correspondents group says they will try again
To have a gala dinner. But, should they let Donald in?
And, for the evening’s entertainment, I think they should hire
A comedian to host, (which they know risks Donald’s ire.)
Perhaps then, Donald wouldn’t come; he’s made that clear before.
For any hint of criticism wounds him to the core.
As Comey knows, you criticize, you’ll never be absolved. (3)
If Trump won’t come, no violence, and presto! Problem solved.
Seth Myers, Kimmel, Colbert, all make Donald fidgety.
But, after last week’s dinner, we could use some levity.
And Trump could still attack the press, that is, if he would come,
For they’ll let him say anything; by now, the press is numb.
The dinner celebrates the First Amendment, that’s free speech,
As well as freedom of the press, which all the law schools teach.
But Donald doesn’t like those much, free speech is just for him.
All Donald wants to hear is praise, just like his soul mate, Kim.
(1) After the unpleasantness at the last White House Correspondents’ Dinner,
Trump used it as an excuse to tout his proposed ballroom as necessary for
“national” (his) security.
(2) Mentalists are magicians who do tricks that suggest that they can read your
mind.
(3) Jim Comey has been re-indicted by Donald’s DOJ for publishing a picture of
sea shells he saw on a beach in North Carolina arranged to show the
numbers: 86 47.
