Amen to that!

Even though I am not American, I can't believe the joke is still going strong. Lord, help us all. I never thought he would get in. So now what?

    Trump doesn't care about the Presidency beyond what he can personally get out of it as a businessman. He's got big plans in Russia so he needs Putin as a friend. He wants to change health care so he and rich friends can pay even fewer taxes yet get government aid for their business dealings. He doesn't care if he's re-elected because he's got what he came for and doesn't have to do anything but talk and do nothing (which makes him a good Republican).

    So sad! I feel for you people as a nation to have him running the show.

Oh - My - God! I've nearly laughed my ass-o-meter off with this bizarre take on the Antonym prompt! Although Merriam-Webster would likely not agree... in my opinion, a better pair of antonyms could not be found!

Best wishes in the contest!

Now that picture and this poem have been the highlight of my day so far. Very funny, a great portrayal and truer words not spoken.

Oh wow! This makes up for all the bad things you have ever done in your entire life. This is so good. I am very jealous. I am kicking myself for not being first with this great artwork. The image gives birth to so many snarky comments, my mind is on full overload, my head is about to explode. Wow! Wow! Wow!

Well said. What a super creative and clever ANTONYM pair! Superb satire.

Indeed...he is so delusional one thinks he has made the whole country that way. This is expressive and timely. Good pun. Fine presentation. This is a good coinage:
egotistical beyond fiction

So true.
Good luck!

Warmly, rd

Don't want to be a meanie here, Bill, but Trump and President, while it may suit you personally, are not antonyms. Though I understand you feelings. I could have said the same thing about Obama in a poem, but I have decided that politics and politicians can only taint the art of poetry. Just my thoughts.

    I understand your point. The satire of the words being opposite is implied.

Trump and President being antonyms. While I fully understand the sentiment behind this, the contest committee may disagree. After all, those two are the same thing (lol).

The picture is a bomb and put me in stitches.

Good luck in the contest.

Agreed! I wish I could had written this. I love the last part about fake news. Everyday, I feel a rising uneasiness to the POTUS as a POTUS. Thank you for having the guts to put this one for review. Would love to see more of this.
