Navigating the turns and twists of the WH resident narcissist
\nsome serious, some deleterious, some delirious, some imperious<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThat the curious shall not know
\nHow to tell them as they flow
\nAnd the envious when they find
\nWhat their number is, be pined\u201d<\/em>
\n\u2014from Volpone (The Fox) by Ben Jonson (1572-1637)<\/p>\n

All selfies by virtue of their origins in reality and by virtue of themselves already exist. There may be more in a brane (parallel universe) just beyond the tip of your nose. Chances are good if that is a reality you will never see them. Have you ever wondered how many selfies are currently floating in cyberspace? Have you heard of the theory of bubble speciation, which goes beyond megaverse or multi universe ideas and proposes that there are new universes being constantly formed in bubbles? Kind of a googolplex times googolplex times\u2026well you get the picture. These sonnets are dedicated to a nabob of narcissism known to us all. In the name of the President, Himself, and His Reflections in a Golden Mirror.

\n45 on 45: Trump Takes Selfies<\/strong>
\nDo I take selfies? am I Baron of Bling? of course I do
\nI take them while tweeting before during and after
\nI can\u2019t think of a much better subject can you?
\nI take them when I\u2019m sad, mad, filled with laughter
\nI use a digital camera I bought for my self as a gift
\nwho knew that camera would be hard to operate for me
\nI bought it for sale at my own gift shop practicing thrift
\nI post them all in my archives for Presidential Prosperity
\nI take them in the Oval Office and on my golf courses
\nSince I\u2019m president number 45 every day I take 45
\ncoming and going chopper to jet with military forces
\nbelieve me I\u2019ll keep taking selfies as long as I\u2019m alive
\nas I\u2019ve said many times before, \u201cOnly I Can Do It\u201d
\nas far as selfies are concerned there\u2019s never a time to quit.

\nFollow Me and Follow the Money<\/strong>
\n(this is no jive follow 45 for a fiscal funny)
\n\u00a0Follow the money and follow me I got plenty
\nno need to ask why just believe me believe me
\nmy father gave me a bundle when I was twenty
\nI made millions more before I turned forty
\nfollow the money many people have said
\na sucker born every minute that\u2019s what the fact is
\nsqueeze dollars out of dummies till they\u2019re dead
\nfor Wall Streets sake don\u2019t file your taxes
\nfollow the money from morning till night
\nmake sure all your children work for you
\nI\u2019m smart high IQ you don\u2019t need to be bright
\nyou\u2019ll be rich like me before you are through
\nfollow the money, yuan, yen, won, and rubles
\nno need to tell the truth or have any scruples.

\nSelfies Twist: My Asian Bucket List<\/strong>
\nLet\u2019s tweet again like we did last summer
\nPutin says Russia didn\u2019t interfere in our election
\nI believe him he knows I\u2019m not getting dumber
\nand Rex and I still lean in his business direction
\nfresh back from my Asian whirlwind tour
\nonly had one chance in Japan to go golfing
\nbut liked those Chinese trade deals for sure
\nnow I\u2019m a big buddy and a fan of Xi Jin Ping
\nIn Viet Nam I didn\u2019t visit Sen. McCain\u2019s jail
\nI said every country should place itself first
\nthen who would be second? would the rest fail?
\nboth me and Duterte performed as rehearsed
\nI stopped in Hawaii place of Obama\u2019s birth
\nate plenty ono stuff and increased my girth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
