Five Lies a Day

March 24, 2017March 24, 2017 Buck Banks

How does Donald lie? Let us count the ways.
He whips out a whopper whenever it pays.
On almost any occasion,
He’ll opt for mendacious,
And he’s already lied 317 times in just 64 days.

Et Tu, Bannon?

March 24, 2017 Buck Banks

On Capitol Hill, the intrigue’s as thick as the Roman Senate.
If Trumpcare fails, Ryan loses, and for Bannon, that’s great.
So, in a sneak attack,
When Steve stabs Paul in the back,
It’s all for the goal of deconstructing the “administrative state.”

It’s All Downhill

March 24, 2017 Buck Banks

As the “Art of the Deal” meets the Law of Diminishing Returns,
And the GOP healthcare bill reaps the opprobrium it’s earned,
Where are Ivanka and Jared and the kids,
As Donald’s Trumpcare plan hits the skids?
Why, they’re in Aspen, skiing as the Republican House burns.

Missing His Mystique

March 24, 2017May 2, 2017 Buck Banks

All Donald Trump can do is grimace and glower,
After the Freedom Caucus sent his team to the shower.
Those GOPers don’t fear him,
Respect him or love him,
And it seems Trump’s lost his famed “mystique of power.”

He’s Had a Few

March 24, 2017March 24, 2017 Buck Banks

On the healthcare bill, he should have hedged his bets.
Since the Freedom Caucus doesn’t respond well to threats.
Shoulda done tax cuts first,
And kept healthcare for last,
It’s safe to say, along his way, Donald’s had a few regrets.

Never-Ending Dividending
Buck Banks | Sep. 12, 2026

Pundits say that Trump’s $5,000 midterm bribe was an overreach,
And they agree that if lies were a crime, he’d be impeached.
Despite all the dividend promises he’s made,
The fact is, not one has ever been paid,
So even before the midterms, he already owes us $8,000* each.

*$5000 stimulus checks via “DOGE dividend”; $2000 stimulus checks via a “tariff dividend”; $1000-plus checks via “savings” from expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies
