Colin Mochrie tweeted a brilliant anagram of the name of our begrudged rump-in-chief the other day. There was inspiration. And percolation. And writing. It might not quite be a poem, but it’s today’s protest piece.

The Reality TV President

with apologies and thanks to Colin Mochrie

ANNOUNCING!
BBCAmerica and Faux News are proud to present a new, unscripted television series following the trials, tribulations, and traumas of a fish out of water, a New York Elite in a working class watering hole, a corrupt con man trying to outcon the controlling charlatans in an already corrupt game of grift.
