Donald Trump, whom the liberals execrate
Doesn’t care that the lefties send texts o’ hate
His achievements are many
Barack hadn’t any
Though democrats all rate their ex, a great

Word for the day haiku:

Libs execrate Trump,
but not because he is wrong.
It’s because he’s right.

HI-YUSE, or HI- yooose...................

My parents gave me the greatest gift any two people
could possibly give their child.

They did not move back to Pittsburgh until
after I had learned to speak.

As liberals react hysterically
With paranoia in every word
The less they are listened to
As we all flip them the bird

They own the crazy narrative-
Likewise the talking heads
Mad Maxine needs a trophy
She’s off the rails and meds

So as pres Trump and others
Execrate them as they whine
If they were suddenly quiet
It would all be perfectly fine
