by Michael R. Burch

Trump's grandfather was evicted from Germany for draft-dodging and tax evasion. His father, Fred Trump, never served his adoptive country, which took him in when he was a stateless refugee, but instead overbilled its government while building federal housing projects. Donald Trump aka Cadet Bone Spurs, continues all three Trump family traditions.

Trump plays into Putin's hands like silly putty. ― Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"

Trump's former campaign manager Brad Parscale once called his reelection machine an "unstoppable juggernaut." But that has been reduced to an "unspottable jigger-nut" as the Grifter-in-Chief blew a $1.1 billion stash on (snigger) "expenses" such as lavish vacations, limo drivers, vanity ads and Trump family "reimbursements." The "unspottable jigger-nut" now faces an embarrassing cash crunch and has had to pull TV ads in critical swing states like Arizona. ― Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"

Trump has Americans playing a deadly game of Follow the Pleader.―Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"

Reelect your Fearless Pleader! Trump has returned to portraying the coronavirus pandemic as a "hoax" that can be safely ignored, this time starting with his magical timeline of Easter. Why? Trump's motivation is apparent in this tweet: "The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success. The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!" Thus the coronavirus, which started as a next-to-nothing "hoax," then became the pandemic Trump had always seen and recognized, is now back to "hoax" status. Never mind about Americans who may suffer and die, while putting their loved ones at risk, if they return to work too soon. They are not "real people" to Trump! What really matters to Trump is that Trump gets reelected. To do that he needs everyone to work, whether they live or die, and whether or not they infect their loved ones in the process. Get your priorities straight, Americans, and put your Fearless Pleader first, as he does Himself! He is completely fearless as far as you and your families are concerned! Now we know why he's imperially called The Donald. How many Americans will suffer and die, to give Trump a better shot at getting reelected?

Shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods? Ron Paul, a former Republican Presidential candidate, recently wrote an article in which he called the coronavirus pandemic a "big hoax." That might come as a surprise to his son, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who just tested positive for the coronavirus. After years of pandering to a conman, Republicans finally have a reality check they can't ignore. Ironically, Rand Paul was the was the only senator to vote against a bipartisan deal to provide $8 billion in emergency coronavirus funding earlier this month.

Vultures of a feather, flocking together? Republican senators Richard Burr and Kelly Loeffler sat together during the Senate impeachment trial. After being briefed by medical experts on the very real dangers of the coronavirus, they pooh-poohed the risk to the public while selling millions of dollars worth of stocks. They presumably laughed all the way to the bank with the money they saved, but how many lives could have been saved if they had told the public the truth?―Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"

Friends, Americans, countrymen ... there is no need to panic. A six-times-bankrupted real estate salesman who didn't know people die from the flu―even though his grandfather did―is now managing the coronavirus pandemic. In the past he's advocated nuking hurricanes, waterbombing Notre Dame Cathedral, raking forest "floors" to prevent wildfires, denying charity to sharks, and tilting at windmills. What could possibly go wrong?―Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"

Who should we trust: the WHO's scientists or Trump's wildly inconsistent gut? In a phone call with Sean Hannity, Trump said he had a "hunch" the World Health Organization's estimated 3.4 percent death rate for coronavirus infections is a "false number." But when cases were reported at his beloved Mar-a-Lago, Trump suddenly changed his tune and finally called it what it is: a pandemic.

It's not true that Trump tested negative for coronavirus; what he failed was an IQ test.―Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"

After coming in contact with Viral Donald, senators Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Rick Scott and Matt Gaetz have wisely announced plans to self-quarantine.

Jared Kushner is in time-out for advising Daddy Trump to downplay a global pandemic as "fake news" and a "Democratic hoax." Bad Jared! Face the wall! No Ivanka nooky time for you!

A: Professional courtesy, one Virus to another.

The bad news keeps getting worse. It turns out the coronavirus is spread by asskissing and brownnosing. The good news is that the entire GOP has been quarantined for your protection.―Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"

Q: What do you call it when President Trump contracts the coronavirus after insisting it was "fake news" and a "Democratic hoax"?
A: Moronavirus
―Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"

Trump is the Moron-a-virus infecting the White House. Ditzy Donald said he didn't know that people died from the flu. His grandfather died from the flu! Now this six-times-bankrupted real estate salesman who claims he's "smarter" than scientists and medical experts is managing the coronavirus pandemic, which he's called "fake news" and a "Democratic hoax." In the past Trump advocated nuking hurricanes, waterbombing Notre Dame Cathedral, denying charity to sharks, tilting at windmills, and raking forest "floors" to combat wildfires. What could possibly go wrong?

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) has words of comfort for Americans. Johnson very helpfully pointed out that that "no more than 3.4 percent of our population" is in danger of dying from the coronavirus. Armed with this data, Johnson wants Americans to put things in the proper "perspective." With a population of 331 million, this means we face "only" 11.25 million deaths. We only have to worry about 3 to 4 people out of every hundred we know dying, on average. And if others end up on ventilators or otherwise incapacitated, well some of us will still be able to breathe on our own. So toughen up, Americans, and get some "perspective" thanks to Ron Johnson!



A pun is a play on words, for purposes of humor and/or making a sharp point. A rather obvious pun is that The Donald "trumped" Jeb Bush and other presidential candidates by "trumpeting" his own accomplishments. But there are other more subtle puns: for instance, comparisons of Trump's "wig" to his "Whig"-like politics. (The Whig party was infiltrated by racist, anti-immigration white supremacists known as "know-nothings" and eventually disintegrated.) A good pun can be simultaneously funny, thought-provoking, and enlightening. For instance, SNL's Drunk Uncle, professing to admire Donald Trump, gushed: "He's gonna make America grapes again!" Obviously "grapes" is a pun on "great." But what does the pun mean? Perhaps the punster is punning on the "grapes of wrath" of the Civil War, which was fought over racism. And so, while the Drunk Uncle seems to be a "fan" of Trump, through irony the pun's creator may be suggesting that we need to think about who Trump is, what he stands for, and what may happen if we elect him president. Do we really want a racist know-nothing in the White House, heading our government and military? (Since I wrote this intro, Trump has been elected president, so we are now finding out, with disastrous results.―Michael R. Burch)

Jimmy Kimmel, choking on tears after 17 Florida high school students were murdered in yet another senseless massacre, said: "You say this is a mental health issue, but one of your first acts as president, Mr. Trump, was to roll back the regulations that were designed to keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill. You did that. Your party voted to repeal the mandates on coverage for mental health. I agree this is a mental illness issue. Because if you don’t think we need to do something about it, you’re obviously mentally ill."

Trump has given new meaning to the term "cock crowing."

According to Jimmy Kimmel, the Trump's "America first" slogan is more like "America last." Kimmel ordered a bunch of merchandise from a Trump website, and not a single item was proudly labeled "Made in America." Most of the items were labeled "Made in China" or countries like Thailand and Peru. Two of the items were not labeled at all, a clear violation of American law if they were made overseas. But in any case, there was nothing labeled "Made in America." Kimmel pointed out that Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump act like American flags wearing hair gel, but they fail to walk the walk. Lock 'em up and throw away the key!

Would Donald Trump create an American Holocaust by deporting 11 million people, including multitudes of completely innocent children and their mothers? Is Trump the second coming of Adolph Hitler? Yes, nicknames like Hair Hitler and Hair Furor are amusing, but are they also accurate, and perhaps prophetic?



Donald Trump: 666 Mark of the Beast

Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but I swear I'm not making it up. The Trump family owns the most expensive building in the United Sates, at 666 Fifth Avenue, a street that symbolizes money (Mammon). Seriously. And according to multiple reports the Trumps are in the process of building another building at One Journal Square that will be 666 feet tall, and cost $666 million dollars. No, I am not pulling your leg! The Bible says that in the last days the anti-Christ will deceive even the very elect. Who endorsed Donald Trump? Evangelical heavyweights like Sarah Palin, Franklin Graham and Jerry Falwell Jr. Again, I am not making this up. This is really happening. The facts are presented here:

Donald Trump: 666 Mark of the Beast.

Does it bother you that Donald Trump sounds like the second coming of Adolph Hitler? Does it strike you as odd that evangelical Christians are ecstatically supporting a man who is the complete and utter antithesis of Jesus Christ? Why did the Hebrew prophets warn us about a "little horn" and the Trump of Doom? Were they speaking literally, since a trump is a little horn? There are not one or two or three connections between the Trumps and the number 666. There are many connections. If you click the hyperlink and read the article, you are free to draw your own conclusions.

Thanks to Donald Trump, the Religious Right now supports the Irreligious Wrong.―Michael R. Burch

Xmas is Coming!

Trump is putting the X back in Xmas by X-ing out refugee children and their mothers. If baby Jesus and Mary showed up needing shelter, Santa Claws wouldn't provide them with even a lowly manger. Instead, he'd order American soldiers to drive them back into the wilderness at gunpoint. Meanwhile, this is what the eerie festivities at the White House looked like the last two years: Trump Christmas.

Have a very scary Trump Christmas!



Thanks to the Trumps the eerily-decorated
White House now has "one of the scariest hallways in America," according to Gizmodo. Comparisons have been drawn to Snow White’s escape route from the Huntsman, The White Witch’s  Narnian forest, and that lovely spot where Voldemort drank a unicorn’s blood. But perhaps we should simply admit that "a cold day in hell" has finally arrived. 

Fabulous news for the Trump administration! According to DailyKos, "tens" attended the Trump tree lighting ceremony! (That is not "tens" as in supermodels, but as in small groups of white supremacists who fervidly dream of "all-white" Christmases.)―Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"

Trump, for once, has kept his word by putting the "Christ" back in Christmas. On a daily basis, he makes 300 million Americans gasp and say "Jesus Christ, what is Trump up to now?"
―Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"

With Trump at the reins, instead of Santa's Sleigh we now have Satan's Slay.
―Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"

Christmas is coming!
Tycoons are getting fat!
Please put donations
in the Fat Cat's Hat.
If you haven't got a penny
he'll toss you in the stew,
but if you've got a billion
then may TRUMP bless you!

Donald Trump Punning Nicknames

Trump of Doom (pun on the Biblical instrument that heralds the Day of Doom)
Hair Hitler (pun on Herr Hitler)
The New Furor (pun on Führer, the German word for "leader")
Darth Hater (pun on Darth Vader)
Dire Abby (because Trumps tweets relationship advice similar to "Dear Abby" but it's usually extremely negative, like "dump the slut!")
King of the Whoppers (because The Donald's lies are so huge and outrageous)
Fifth Avenue Freeze-Out (because Donald Trump tried to deny American vets the right to street vend on Fifth Avenue, while selling expensive baubles there himself)
Master Debater (because Trump claims that he won every debate; also because he masturbates his ego during debates)
King Tut (because Trump's insults make billions of people go "Tut, tut, tut!")
New York Pork Dork (because Trump hails from New York and has wild spending plans, called "pork projects" in political circles)

A number of Trump nicknames are related to fascism, such as "Hair Hitler," "Hair Furor" and "The New Furor." Are such accusations warranted? Well, Hair Hitler talking about Muslims does sound a lot like Herr Hitler talking about Jews. Here's what one prominent American Jew has said on the subject. Abe Foxman, former National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, says Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump urged supporters at a Florida rally to raise their arms in a Nazi salute to him. "As a Jew who survived the Holocaust, to see an audience of thousands of people raising their hands in what looks like the 'Heil Hitler' salute is about as offensive, obnoxious and disgusting as anything I thought I would ever witness in the United States of America," Foxman told The Times of Israel.

Other Political Puns

Heidi Cruz said she was attracted to her future husband's "movie star" looks. Now there are rumors that Ted Cruz will star as himself in a movie about his alleged affair with a hooker: The Floozy and the Beast.
Ted Cruz, the Holy Cruzader, is a modern-day Jean D'Arc (i.e., Dark). Like Darth Vader, he surrendered to the Dark Side and became addicted to its influences.
John McCain called Ted Cruz a "wacko" bird, but according to Cruz's college roommate Craig Manzin, Cruz is a "whack-off" bird who hypocritically tried to prevent other people from touching themselves "down there."
There is no need for Ted Cruz to use absurd Big-Brother-ish laws to keep other people from whacking off. All he has to do is publish one picture of his ghoulish face in the throes of self-gratification, and millions of American men will no longer be able to perform. Millions of American women will immediately swear off all forms of sex forever. The over-population problem will quickly be solved, as birth rates plummet around the globe when the picture goes viral. Meanwhile, Creepy Ted Cruz can don his paisley robe and "cruz" for sex with peacocks, frilled reptiles, and other lower life forms. He need have no fears about charges of bestiality, since he is so beastly himself.

FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT, OR JUST LOW-HANGING FRUITS? According to the Bible, the fruits of the Spirit are "love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." As far as I can tell, the current Republican presidential frontrunners exhibit precious little fruit of the Spirit. (They do seem like "fruits," however, as in "crazy.") Donald Trump is the antithesis of Jesus, being a proud, arrogant man who seems to value only money, power, domination, fame and sex. He admitted that he never asks God for forgiveness, and he insulted Holy Communion by speaking dismissively of it as his "little bread" and "little wine." Would any real Christian speak of Holy Communion so lightly? Ted Cruz has been called the most loathed person in American politics, which is understandable because creepiness seems to ooze from his pores! He tries to come off as genial in some of his ads, but I doubt that he's fooling anyone. Does it make any sense whatsoever for Christians to vote for politicians who are nothing like Christ and reject his main ethical teaching: to help the poor, widows and orphans? Trump and Cruz are not talking about helping widows and orphans, but turning our backs on them if they are not Christian. Have they never read the Parable of the Good Samaritan, in which Jesus clearly taught that Christians should put aside religious differences to help people of other faiths who have fallen on hard times? Jesus was born into a family in Palestine that was told there was "no room" for a pregnant woman and her baby. Trump and Cruz would clearly have turned their backs on Joseph, Mary and Jesus because they were refugees from the "wrong" part of the world, and not Christians! Is that Christian, really?

Let's send Don Voyage on a Carnival Cruz to some remote island where the Trump of Doom and Mr. Cruz Missile can consummate their fascist love affair without dragging the rest of us into WWIII. They're both talking calmly (but not rationally) about carpet bombing the Middle East, killing god-knows-how-many women and children in the process. Cruz said that as president he would carpet bomb parts of the Middle East with nukes to see if the sands will glow at night. What kind of monster jokes about something like that? Trump wants to turn the American soldiers into serial killers of widows and orphans, tracking them down and "taking them out" (murder!) or causing them to "suffer," as "retribution" for acts of terrorism they didn't commit. Military and security experts keep pointing out that targeting women and children is immoral, illegal according to the Geneva Conventions, and counter-productive. It will not make anyone safer or more secure. No sane person brags about carpet bombing anyone, much less women and children. Trump and Cruz belong together ... far, far away from those of us who are sane, on some deserted tropical island.―Michael R. Burch

The other Republican presidential candidates don't stand a chance against the Trump of Doom. The Donald out-foxed the Fox Network; he's a bigger rube than Rubio; he's twice as bush as Jeb; his campaign is on Cruz control; he can out-cookie Christie; he's randier than Rand; he mocks Carson daily; and all Carly does is sing "You're So Vain."―Michael R. Burch

The GOP's problem in a nut-shell (if you'll pardon the pun) is that all its presidential candidates are nuts, not just the Teflon Don. No, wait, I take it back ... George Pataki may not be completely crazy. And that's why he has such appeal for the saner Republican voters: all 0.6% of them!―Michael R. Burch

Where's his self-alleged "courage" and "might"?

— Michael R. Burch

Trump's latest idea to "make American great again" is a real doozy that puts him in the same category as Herr Hitler. Asked during a Fox News interview about civilian casualties in the war on terror, Herr Trump replied: "We're fighting a very politically correct war [by seeking to avoid harming civilians] ... And the other thing is with the terrorists, you have to take out their families. When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. But they say they don't care about their lives. You have to take out their families." So according to Herr Trump it is "politically correct" (i.e., very bad) to try to avoid killing women and children, and the best way to "win" the war on terror is to become serial killers of women and children ourselves! Herr Trump, welcome to the club that includes Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Ivan the Terrible, Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan! What a tough guy, what a hero, what a leader of men! Sieg Heil, Herr Trump!

A pale neo-Nazi, Herr Trump,
screamed "Take them all out!" at the stump:
"Mothers and kiddies!
Grandpappies, old biddies!
Just blow up the whole damn dump!"

Etymology and History of the Name "Trump"

Trump is an early English surname derived from the pre-8th century Olde French Trompeor. It is a metonymic or job descriptive name either for a trumpeter or a maker of trumpets. Originally to "trump" meant "to forge, fabricate, deceive or cheat" (as in our modern expression "trumped up.") A 19th-century etymological dictionary explains that "quacks and mountebanks" attracted attention by blowing a horn then swindling people. The older term also had connotations of mocking and playing the fool. Does any of this sound familiar, ring a bell?
