Gift Keeps on Grifting
There’s a failed state park in New York named for Donald J. Trump.
He donated the land after his golf course plan hit a slump.
It’s just trash, asbestos, brambles and no amenities,
Though he took a $100 million tax cut with a grifter’s ease,
May we suggest a new name: the Donald J. Trump State Dump.
Curb His Enthusiasm Winning the swindling ...
That Trump meme coin surely is an amazing wonder!
It’s lightning in a bottle — all light, no thunder.
There’s absolutely nothing stealth
About how Trump’s enriching himself,
He’s just enthusiastically embracing the Politics of Plunder.
Qatari Plane ‘Gift’ Is a White Elephant
“While many have speculated that the Qataris have offered Trump the luxurious plane to curry favor with the famously transactional president, there may be a simpler rationale: they just don’t want it anymore. … The royals have failed to sell the plane, which was put on the market in 2020, according to an archived listing. Giving it away could save Qatar’s rulers a big chunk of change on maintenance and storage costs… Making Trump happy would be an added bonus.”

Gift of Grift
It’s one thing to, at Christmas, give your kid an Atari.
It’s another thing, at midlife, to gift yourself a Ferrari.
But when you’re the U.S. President,
You’ve got to be wary of those emoluments,
And don’t go accepting $400 million jets from the Qataris.

All Hail the Grifter-in-Chief
“I’ve covered Trump’s finances for 8 years and wrote a book about conflicts of interest during his first term. I’ve never seen anything quite like the profiteering that occurred over the last few days.”

Donald Trump and the Grift that Keeps on Giving
$200 million
“Since his victory in November, President-elect Donald Trump’s allies have raised well over $200 million for a constellation of groups that will fund his inauguration, his political operation and eventually his presidential library,“ the New York Times reports. “It is a staggering sum that underscores efforts by donors and corporate interests to curry favor with Mr. Trump ahead of a second presidential term after a number of business leaders denounced him following the violence by his supporters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.”
Smells Like Authoritarianism
“It’s fragrance your enemies can’t resist!”
So splash some behind your ears and on your wrists.
It’s called Fight, Fight, Fight,
And it’s guaranteed to delight —
If you want to smell like a loyal Trump fascist.
