Slippery Slander Slope

Trump says that he was just kidding.

That’s a slippery slope that he’s skidding.

For slander to say

And then laugh it away

Foretells a reign dark and forbidding.

Demagogue Despot BFFs

Some think they're especially bad,
Mr. Trump and his dear comrade,
     Like peas in a pod,
     They each think themselves god,
The Donald and good buddy Vlad.

                           - by Don Hubin

His blinders are on

There's more false claims from the windbag,
Complaining that the stage had no flag.
     But let's set it straight,
     All night there were eight.
Once again, Trump's tweets make us gag.

Motivation

Is it possible he is sincere

When his head is oft up his rear?

His remarks are offensive

Hair color expensive

While his personal motives are clear.

By David Hoover

The Education of Mrs. Trump

Melania’s site has come down

Her education’s the talk of the town!

     Does she have a degree?

     Trump U should be free

Since she’s shacked up with Donald the Clown.

Hack in the USSR

Trump’s causing Republican mutiny

His comments receiving much scrutiny

     Has he lost all reason

     To resort to such treason?

It’s just that he loves all that’s Putin-y.

He gave Trump's ego a bruise...

There was not an endorsement by Cruz,
So the delegates responded with boos.
     Ted's got his eyes
     On the 2020 prize
And he fully expects Trump to lose.

I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

The GOP says the world will implode

if we continue down the Democrat’s road.

     Will Trump keep us safe?

     The thought makes me chafe.
He can’t wait to get the nuclear code.

Where's the mirror?

Trump's people look for others to shame.
Manafort looked at Clinton to defame.
     The world realized
     Melania plagiarized.
Now Merideth McGiver gets the blame.

Never Truman

There’s one quote that you’ll never hear

Plagiarized by Melania dear

     Neither she nor her spouse

     Will ever espouse

A belief that the buck stops right here.

Melania's speech

The current Trump wife was a hit

Her speech full of charm, grace, and wit.

     But wait for the drama

     Who wrote it?  Obama!

She copied Michelle’s lines – that twit!

How loyal, Ivana and Marla?

"He's intensely loyal, he won't let you down."
Says Trump's third wife, dressed up in her gown.
     How loyal he'll be
     Is easy to see.
Ask creditors screwed by this orange clown.

Boo hoo

Trump stands for a party united

Says Manafort proud and delighted.

     But his team has no love

     For John Kasich, our gov –

His absence makes Donald feel slighted.

Conventional Open Carry

Ohio feels much apprehension

For the RNC Cleveland convention.

     Guns will not be banned

     Open carry will stand

Police tried but could not get suspension.

It's all about me!

The news conference was seemingly tense,
when Trump introduces Mike Pence.
     He soon set the tone
     and left him on stage alone.
Another sign of Trump's true moral sense.

Could you not predict the response?

Trump presented T-P as his logo,
with the T up and down like a yo-yo.
     Not just a bad graphic
     But quite pornographic.
So he quickly decides it's a no-go.

The Logo

Trump’s logo defines his campaign

It’s thoughtless and mildly profane.

     So bend over Pence

     It will be this way hence

You’re part of the Donald Trump train.

Greatness Redefined

Insult replaces debate;

He capitalizes on hate;

   Trump spouts “law and order”

   And closing the border,

And says this is what makes us “great.”

By Steve Fink

A Convention Like No Other

The RNC features Tim Tebow

And Ruffin who owns a casino

     Average people like these

     Will put voters at ease

With the fabulous insights they show.

Best VP Choice, Hands Down!

His choice for VP makes good sense;

He’s picked Indiana’s Mike Pence.

   A strong Trump supporter

   And Christian exhorter

With hands that are really immense!

By Steve Fink

Celebrity Apprentice

The Donald must pick a VP

An apprentice who gets policy.

     There’s much apprehension

     About the convention

Who will this celebrity be?

Party of Lincoln

Trump’s taking the Party of Lincoln

Down pathways disgusting and stinkin’.

     He’s stoking mistrust

     Inspiring disgust

Let’s hope that support for him’s shrinkin’!

Notorious RBG

Justice Ginsburg “disgraces” the court

Says Trump in his pompous report.

     RBG won’t back down

     From condemning that clown

“He’s a faker” is her tough retort.

Good call, Murphy

While both were students at Wharton,
Bergen said Trump once came a courtin'
     Donald: "I was great"
     Candice: "Real bad date"
His nose grows (and his fingers shorten.)

Not the Constitution - maybe the Declaration of Human Rights?

Trump thinks there's an Article twelve.
He's more clueless the deeper we delve.
     His knowledge is shallow,
     his experience, callow.
His candidacy's something to shelve.

Inspired by Saddam

Dictators would make this world great

Saddam and Gadhafi – a slate!

      Killed the terrorists good

     They did what they should

Trump inspires our country to hate.

His Greatest Con

Consider the glorious Don:
Scam after scam does he spawn.
   The Donald Trump choosers
   He would consider all losers;
They're victims of his greatest con.

                    by Don Hubin

Equal Opportunity

Alas, our whole system is rigged,

The Donald’s supporters all twigged.

     Poor Trump had no chance

     To grow rich and advance

That must be some good stuff he swigged.

Not the sheriff

Trump should check the encyclopedia,

Or at least open Wikipedia.  

      Demeaning David's Star
      Just shows who you are. 

But he blames the dishonest media.

He's like a "Face in the Crowd"

Trump claims he can run our great nation

but he's thriving on crowd adulation. 

     He's followed by sheep

     Now he's in way too deep. 

What we need from the Donald is cessation. 

Throwaway wives - matching beliefs

Trump may choose his VP to be Newt.

Could he find someone of lower repute?

       "She's too ugly," Newt says

       "To be the wife of the pres."

So he gave his first wife the boot.
