Trumple in his desperation
Stooped below mere defamation
When he strongly
Clearly wrongly
Labeled Clinton ISIS founder

Dangerous this escalation:
Clinton, traitor of the nation
Trumple’s comments
Can’t but foment
Lethal danger all around her

Hearing, here, an invitation
Some nut full of aggravation
Feeling righteous
Really might just
Take his gun and try to down her

Dan Rather wrote an Op Ed that I picked up in the Daily Kos that I would say is the best commentary I have read on Trump’s Supreme Court and second-amendment comment, which, I’m sure, you have heard a lot about by now.   

When I was a little lad
A truth my dad would tell me
Some elephants are big and bad
And leave a trail that’s smelly

Trumple Elly trumpets strong
With statements gross and stinking
But yesterday with words so wrong
It’s clear what he was thinking

Shoveling the Elly’s poop
His backers keep on trying
But this one’s just too tough to scoop
They try but no one’s buying

Even were it just a joke
As Trumple now is claiming
Inciting murder is no hoax
Implying it, is damning

Trumple’s words have consequence
His followers are dupes
They follow up his sentences
And shovel up his poop

GOPers like to clamor
The economy’s not strong
Seems to be some kind of glamour
Claiming its direction’s wrong
…..The economy’s
…..Slow recovery
…..Though unsavory
…..Happened naturally
The recession Bush created
Was the worst in very long

Just bear witness to the numbers
Jobs, ten million in eight years
Unemployment measures under
Five percent, but then it’s clear
…..Stock heights staggering
…..Bond yields bottoming
…..Wages stagnating
…..Low growth threatening
Indicating that a likely
General downturn could be near

Taking place near the election
There’d be plenty hell to pay
With stocks in a deep correction
Trump’s accusing could hold sway
…..Clinton’s strategy
…..Must prepare Plan B
…..For this very key
…..Possibility
Otherwise it’s truly likely
Donald Trump could win the day

The first is Business One
Trump’s accounting has begun
As a young man Trumple lost except for Dad
He’s the greatest
Most inflated
He’s the greatest business man we’ve ever had

This next is Business Two
Trumple learned the art of screw
Several Indian casinos cheated he
He’s the greatest
Most berated
He’s the greatest shady business man, you’ll see

The third is Business Three
Trumple University
Trumple promised students but delivered not
He’s the greatest
Over stated
He, the greatest business man, defrauds a lot

We’ve come to Business Four
Trumple always evens scores
Trumple didn’t pay his contractors their due
He’s the greatest
Multi- hated
He’s the greatest business man you’d have to sue

Many more than Business Five
Shady deals is how he thrived
Newsweek’s article is where you’ll find the rest
He’s the greatest
Lowest rated
Says the greatest business man: “I am the best!”

I just dreamt of Trumple winning
Cable casters madly spinning
Broad confusions
Wild conclusions
What caused Hillary to lose?
‘Twas the turnout said the Muse

Meanwhile Trumple’s team was cheering
Jumping up and down and jeering
Cocktails toasting
Trumple boasting
“I’m so good, I never lose”
Tis the turnout said the Muse

I woke from my nightmare screaming
Was it real, or was I dreaming?
With poll scorings
Upward soaring
How on Earth could Clinton lose?
It’s the turnout says the Muse

I am rubber; you are glue
What you hateful say of me
Bounces back and sticks to you
That is Trumple’s strategy

Don’t forgive and don’t forget
Retribution for each slight
Trumple’s Trumple, no change yet
Presidential? Not in sight

Hillary gains in the polls
Republicans in disarray
Success too soon can take its toll
Complacency can lose the day

So, be rubber and be glue
Be resilient; stay the course
Beating Trumple, it’s still true
Democrats must vote in force

The following is an excerpted summary of an Aug 3,  Daily Kos article:  

“Let’s review:

1. Donald Trump has frequently expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin, viewing him as a “strong” leader who Trump “admires.” Trump has also given wildly differing statements on his personal relationship with Putin.
2. Trump has, on multiple occasions, suggested a weakening of the NATO alliance.
3. Despite this, Trump previously expressed support for the Ukraine.
4. After Trump hired Paul Manafort, a man who had worked for—and may still be working for—pro-Russian forces seeking to destroy the democratic government of the Ukraine, Trump’s position on the Ukraine changed to one that is far more friendly to Russia.
5. Trump campaign staff, including former Rumsfeld assistant J. D. Gordon, halted the implementation of pro-Ukraine language in the GOP platform, and insisted on language that was much more supportive of Russia after saying they had to speak directly to Trump about the policy.
6. One week after the change was written into the GOP platform, emails hacked from the DNC were released through Wikileaks. Both government and independent investigators have identified the hackers as being associated with the Russian government.
7. Donald Trump suggested that Russia might also hack Hillary Clinton’s email server and recover 30,000 emails (which are not “missing,” but were personal emails deleted by a team of lawyers who reviewed the server). 
8. Trump later claimed he was being sarcastic, but within a week of his request, further hacks took place at the DCCC and the Hillary Clinton campaign. These hacks have also been identified as coming from Russian sources.
9. Both Manafort and Trump issued denials that they had anything to do with the changes to the Republican platform, despite the many witnesses and despite having made no objection to the news as it was reported at the time.
10. Trump, in an interview, seemed not only confused about the two-year-old invasion of the Ukraine, but gave apparently contradictory indications that, were he elected, he would cede the occupied Crimea to Russia, and that the Russians would withdraw from the Ukraine.

None of that is speculation. Not one word of it is theory”

I am not a conspiracy buff
And I rarely consider this stuff
But I’m now telling you
I’m disturbed through and through
And attention is not paid enough

My problem is not Donald Trump
Who, I think’s being played for a chump
By glib Paul Manafort
Campaign boss man of sort
Who’s receiving, I think, info dumps

Every day Trump is CIA briefed
Secret info that’s not to be breached
I just wonder if Trump
Bragging while on the stump
Without thinking allows much to leak

Why suspect Manafort, you may ask
Of a foreign intelligence task
It’s his Russian support
That condemns Manafort
I don’t trust him, for that and all that

In a nickel of minutes plus one
How much, do you think, can be done?
You can hard boil an egg
You can stand on one leg
You can start a war that can’t be won

Given all of six minutes to choose
When informed by your staff of the news
An attack they do fear
Many nuks, it appears
Launch our own? Really, what would you do?

It’s the Prexy’s decision to make
Sixty million could die in its wake
Under pressures like these
Who’s controlling nuk keys?
That decision is all ours to make

Khizr Khan and wife Ghazala
Having lost their son, Humayun
Army captain, Afghan hero
Changed the course of this election

Khizr spoke the Dem’s convention
Dignified articulation
Laying bare Trump’s xenophobic
Epithets and blatant threats

Trump, responding as he always
Does, receiving such descriptions,
Denigrated spouse Ghazala
And their Muslim faith as well

This sparked many refutations
From the GOP elite
Some said they would switch to Hillary
More will follow; wait and see

I’m encouraged when I witness
People, humble, well informed,
And courageous like this couple
They’re who make this country great

I fear for the Republican Party when it’s leaders don’t have the moral fortitude to put country first.  What Donald Trump espouses and his base applauds is un-American and un-Republican at its core.

Trumpledee is in retreat
About debate dates he complained
Realizing that he would be beat
Elections will be rigged, he claimed

It’s sad I am; it’s up I’m fed
Republicans can disagree
With everything that Trump has said
And still endorse him publicly

While Trumple contemplates defeat
And makes up reasons why he’ll lose
The leaders of the GOP
Put Party first, and that’s bad news
