Red Caesarism: Trump trial baptism

45’s *DROIT DU SEIGNEUR DAYDREAM

Inspiration from W.S. Hamlet ‘To Be or Not to Be’

When to lie or not to lie? Well, it depends!

Why not take advantage of the stupidity

Of fools that follow and swallow what I say

I post my litany of lies on Truth Social

When posting those lies I lie more and more

No more will I ever seek or speak the truth

My heart and soul in prevarication lock

On falsehoods to feed my ignorant flock

Devoted I catch the foolish fish. I lie. I live.

I live to become king. That’s my main thing

When I ascend the throne I will rule alone

From US Capitol II my Mar-A-Lago home

The US Congress will come and pay respect

Abeyance to their new King, I rightly expect.

N.B. The phrase ’droit du seigneur’ in French

means right of the feudal lord. Any alleged

right arrogantly presumed.

MY PRESIDENTIAL LEGACY IN DISGRACE

Parody of Will Shakespeare Sonnet XXIX

“When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes

I all alone beweep my outcast state

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries

And look upon myself, and curse my fate” -W.S.

My presidency in disgrace in the nation’s eyes

I all alone campaign in my confused state

And trouble judge and jury with my baby cries

Too bad I can’t seem to ‘Make America Great…

Wish I was like Sleepy Joe from Delaware

Talk policy like him; understand what I heard

Jealous that he shows how much he can care

While in these thoughts filled with self-loathing

I think of money I owe and that I’m losing

So I sell Bibles, sneakers, hats, and clothing

Discounts on everything, you’re choosing

Bling and bucks remembered on this occasion

Block thoughts of a prison cell for tax evasion.
