What’s that for? The Office of Slippery Hypocrisy? Can they think back to the exact day they lost their personal integrity?

Draft dodger Trump is having a Soviet style miliary parade for his birthday. Government efficiency.

He used to whistle, watch the good times roll,
This time the economy has him stumped.
Within his chest, a heavy, aching dread.
