Who’s here for the haiku contest? Haiku entries should be on this theme: the innermost musings of Donald J. Trump as he attends his criminal trial in Manhattan. The finalists will be published in a future Borowitz Report Sunday Read and the grand prize winner will receive a signed copy of my book, PROFILES IN IGNORANCE.

Now that I understand it is what TRUMP is musing...

Breathtaking blond locks

Mountainous hanging titties

Damn, I look so good!

Silent but deadly.

Nothing but TAB.

Where’s my Roy Cohn?

—-

The great man grows weary

Fatigue seeps out, along with clouds

Of methane. Why are there no crowds?

45’s eyes are bleary.

In the gilded, taste-less Tower

The escalator still runs down

Also rundown is the crown

Of MAGA power.

Scotch-taped neckwear comes unglued

Dangles, now you’re in the soup

Aerosol of vilest poop

You were nailed, and now you’re screwed.

They call it “hush” money.

So why don’t they shut up now?

It’s time for my nap.

I should not be here!

This witch-hunt is so pointless

I'll snooze through these lies.

I did nothing wrong.

I am not accountable.

Just ask all my wives.

Delay my “cases”.

What cases? There are no cases!

I did nothing wrong.

No sleep, so unfair.

No TV news to rage at!

About MTG - “… I started breaking out in hives.” That’s priceless! Also “… maybe Jew-ish, like George Santos.”- Thanks for this one, Andy. I love waking up to your posts. Smiling is a great way to start my day!

You do so well without adult supervision, Andy. Anyway, adult supervision very often is overestimated!

Kinda makes getting up in the morning a happier experience, doesn’t it?? 😊

Not a haiku! First line has only 4 syllables.

Please count more carefully- I liked be-ing spanked. That’s 5 syllables Georgianne. Let’s hear yours now!!

Sounds exactly like his inner mind! But it’s 5,8,7 and haikus have to be 5,7,5.

You must not be a Southerner. It's pronounced "dite"-- one syllable.

My hair is on fire

My retribution "stormy"

Why am I here now?

I should be golfing with friends

I always beat them

Your haiku also works if you change “beat” to “cheat” 🤔

Love it!!

luckily for MTG ( pronounced Empty Gee) she can poke Trump's sharpie into her empty skull and X out that tiny fact so there is more room for delusion.

Everyone loves me

And even storms won’t stop me!

You wanted it, girl.

Expand full comment

I think you truly captured what Trump’s innermost musings could be !

He should be so lucky as to someday be reflective enough to muse, and deep enough to have anything qualify as ‘innermost’.

Marge is in good company with regard to her allergy to our tribe. We wouldn't want her anyway: she lacks not only a worn library card but probably also family heirloom recipes for chicken soup and brisket.

Expand full comment

I think she shames EVERY tribe, including her own! I’m neither Jewish nor Jew-ish, but I find her shameful. A worm definitely ate her brain, but then, I heard, regurgitated.

Expand full comment

According to today's news, the worm then crawled into R. Kennedy Jr.'s brain and died there."Splains everything.

I like this, but what sad thought….

Expand full comment

Most of his thoughts that are coherent are sad (or evil) and the rest are unintelligible.

In court's sharp spotlight,

Trump weaves through legal tempest—

Storm's eye whispers truths.

I am over 80 years old and I have never met a Jew named Jesus. Every Jesus I have met has been Latino. MTG can relax because Jesus was not a Jew he was Mexican.
