The Phantom Debate

Trump agreed to debate Bernie Sanders,

But one of his main stipulations

Was that the network would have to put up

Millions of dollars in charitable donations.

 

Trump suggested that the money

Go to causes in women's health,

Which, I agree, would be a good

Reason to donate a great deal of wealth.

 

But listen, ladies everywhere,

Donald Trump is trying to woo you.

I hate to tell you, Mr. T,

But most women can see right through you.

 

After Trump disparaged women

With negative comments whenever he could,

He thinks he's now showing women

Sincere efforts to try to make good.

 

It's like his attempt--which he figured

Would be redeeming and certainly valid--

To tweet a photo of him in his restaurant

Chomping on a taco salad.

 

That's his way to undo his words

Bashing Mexicans--his hateful invective.

"You see, I love the Mexican people."

Nice try, Trump, but none too effective.

 

But, alas, Trump changed his mind.

He cancelled the special debate with Sanders.

Which lucky group will be

The NEXT one to whom Trump panders?

ADDENDUM:

 

It didn't take long for Trump to do it.

It's hard to believe, but it is true.

In California, Trump has found

A new group to pander to:

 

This time it's voters in central Cal.

Trump told them that without a doubt--

Now be sure you are sitting down--

In California THERE IS NO DROUGHT!

 

Listen again: There is no drought,

Said the billionaire media star,

Who'll say whatever comes to his head.

Either HE is clueless or he thinks we are.

 

Trump thinks he can get away

With saying anything. Don't deny it.

It's scary to hear him spout his nonsense.

What's even scarier is people buy it!
