The White House Correspondent’s Dinner finally took place. (1)
Trump blithered for an hour, without humor, without grace.
To celebrate the First Amendment is not Donald’s style.
Reporters who’d exposed his lies were greeted with a “snile.” (2)

Trump sued reporters and newspapers whom he doesn’t like.
If Donald doesn’t like you, he wants your head on a pike.
“The Press” is owned by billionaires and that’s fine with the Don, (3)
As long as they are tight with him and help him run his con. (4)

Dictators, down through history, are hostile to the press.
The free expression of ideas threatens their success.
A free press, true democracy, require a germicide,
For, in the mind of Donald Trump, they lead to regicide.

As time wore on, Trump’s tone increased in its hostility,
He showed his mental state had long passed curability.
His lawsuits have been thrown out; his subpoenas have been quashed.
But Donald clearly still intends to see the free press squashed.

It’s clear, more shit will hit the fan from Donald’s GI tract.
Some faculties declined but peristalsis is intact.
Some more vindictive lawsuits are expected from Todd Blanche,
Their specious legal arguments make honest lawyers blanch.

A typical Trump business: fiscal, moral bankruptcy,
Dishonest, whimsical, and showing creeping lunacy,
And, as the signs of Donald Trump’s decline have daily grown,
Both Vance and Rubio plot which of them will seize the throne.

(1) The WHCD had to be rescheduled from April after a would-be assassin
stormed into the first one and shot a guard in his bullet proof vest.
(2) “Snile” is not a recognized word. I made it up to mean a combination of
sneer and smile.
(3) “The Press” now also includes broadcast journalism, which was unknown to
the Founding Fathers.
(4) One suspects Trump approves of Bari Weiss, now head of CBS news and
destroyer of “60 Minutes.”
