Carney Cowboys Up*
In Trump’s “Art of the Deal” you always go hard for the score,
When negotiations are almost finished, you ask for something more.
But according to Prime Minister Mark Carney,
All Trump wanted was his country’s sovereignty,
And that’s how Trump’s tariffs started a new Canadian trade war.
*Common in rural Alberta, Canada. It means to be strong or face a challenge bravely.
Burger for Your Vote
Donald Trump’s latest tariff move beggars belief,
He says he’s providing some needed price relief.
But the move will most certainly harm
The folks who own ranches and farms.
Trump thinks he’ll win the midterms with cheap imported beef.
Natalie Harp Had a Tweet Storm on Jan. 6, 2025
+150
“Years before Natalie Harp became a key White House aide to President Donald Trump, she flooded her Twitter feed with posts demonstrating extraordinary devotion to him on January 6, 2021,” CNN reports. “Harp posted more than 150 tweets that day, urging Republicans to ‘FIGHT FOR TRUMP’ as he began his speech near the White House. She echoed the president’s talking points that the election was stolen, and amplified rhetoric of his allies, who also sought to undermine the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election win. Harp’s X account appears suspended. It’s unclear when her account was taken down, and whether she or the platform removed her posts.”
Candidates Should Cater to Mothers by Focusing on AI and Social Media Issues
“If any politician wants to get mothers on their side, they should adopt this issue. It’s such an obvious electoral winner. And what I’ve learned is there is no force in the universe stronger than mothers trying to protect their kids.”
— Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, quoted by Politico, on the threats posed by social media and artificial intelligence.
No Fairy Secretary
For Trump, he can’t replace Karoline Leavitt with just anyone,
No, he’s thinking, the new press sec should be a mother’s son.
So he’s looking for a masculine manly man
With big balls, swinging dick and golfer’s tan.
He’s gotta be smooth, cool and fairly brimming with testosterone.
No Naval Knowledge
For Donald Trump, the title “commander-in-chief” has no limits,
And so he thinks he has the naval knowledge of an Admiral Nimitz.
He wants to reposition conning towers
And go steampunk for aircraft throwers,
But he should stick to ballroom design and keep his mitts off battleships.
