> [@Atamasama](#): > > Trumpymandias Ok, I’ll try. I met a traveller from a land once posh, Who said - “Two vast and trunkless legs of gold Stand in the swamp….Near them, in the marsh, Half sunk a saffron visage lies, whose pursed mouth, And folded neck flesh, and squinting eyes so harsh, Tell that its sculptor well those late-night tweets read Which despite fake news, stamped on these bigly things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is DONALD J TRUMP, I am the GREATEST PRESIDENT of all TIME, Look how WE ARE MAKING things GREAT AGAIN, all you crooked DEMOCRATS!” Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that pathetic train wreck, smoldering in places The now-toxic marshlands stretch far away. ---

In March, McDonald’s is rolling out a new version of the Big Mac with quarter pound patties, three slices of cheese, fried onions, and a more ketchupy sauce with no pickles in it. Dare we hope?
