Trump says that he almost cancelled his speech at the Future Farmers of America (FFA) convention in Indianapolis today.

Lordy, if he did start cancelling and keeping his mouth shut every time he’s got a bad hair day, he’d shut the fuck up forever! AMEN to that! ---

Make it as loud and obvious as possible: “We don’t want you here” is the message to immigrants. Those who are desperate along the southern border will come regardless. If they’re desperate, they’ll risk everything. But what about those who aren’t desperate? What about, say, skilled workers in IT and STEM fields who do have other options? We’re pushing away a major advantage that we have over other countries. ---

We’re pushing away a major advantage that we have over other countries. Time to break out my new take on “The New Colossus”. I picture a giant statue of the America-hating fuckstick at the mouth of the Potomac. His stern glare and outward-thrust palm bespeak a definite NON-invitation of newcomers to our land. His other hand gestures toward a satchel at his feet, overflowing with currency, and labeled “Contributions”. Engraved on the pedestal, the following sonnet: The New Colossus (v. 45) Not like that massive woman facing East With long green robes that reach down to her toes (Too bad that she should have so many clothes; You’d think she’d show a little thigh, at least) But I digress- protect us from the beast, The mule, the raping, thieving, killing horde, Who, from his shit-hole country tries to board Our great White ship that bears us to our feast. Hold back the so-called “refugees” out there. Send me your oligarchs, flush with success Whose deals with me are always more than fair, Who buy my real estate without much stress. While Fox and Friends all praise me on the air, We’ll show my base that they can do with less. ---

Usually when poetry moves me to tears, it’s because the words and cadence evoke a stirring in my soul, a likening of spirit if you will. In this case, the tears are because your description of Trump and his minions is too true. Again I say, “Cry the beloved country”. ---
