Trump Tells the Truth!

April 6, 2022 Buck Banks

For the GOP, twice-impeached Trump is still the boss,
They’ll follow him anywhere, no matter the cost.
But is Trump beginning to deny
The truth of the Big Lie?
After all, he told the Guardian he didn’t win, which implied he lost.

Abandoned and Banned

He once was THE guy to schmooze,
Back before the Trump election ruse.
“America’s Mayor” after 9/11 —
He was in reputation heaven,
But now Rudi Giuliani’s been banned from Fox News.

Now Eric Trump is a feisty and loyal young pup,
In the electoral college betting pool, he ante’d up.

Would get a cool 320,
We don’t know what he lost, but we’d bet he didn’t pay up.

Trump: Always a Loser

December 18, 2020 Buck Banks

“[Trump] is crying so long and loudly about the unfairness of his loss that he is forcing officials at every level of government, across the country, to take sides—against him. His frenetic efforts to deny his defeat have simply underscored it. Trump really is leaving office on January 20th, and he really will go out as an impeached and defeated President, forevermore listed in the history books alongside Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter and all the other one-termers he disdains. He is now, and will always be, a loser.”
