Grifter-In-Chief
Since losing the race, Trump’s been more than miffed,

He set up a PAC
To fund his comeback,

Pardon Me — Please!
For Rudi, losing election challenges is no longer fun,
And his legal career, such as it was, is just about done.
But one wonders what crimes
He’s committed over time
That would lead him to ask Trump for a pre-emptive pardon.
