For Our Good
Since he’s not known for abnegating,
there’s no chance he’s abdicating
even for our nation’s good,
although how much we wish he would!
We’d hold a giant jubilee—
you in your house, me with me
in light of social distancing,
the protests and the rioting.
He could finally be the hero,
send stress levels down to zero
if (oh if) he’d only switch
his playground to the very rich
and leave real world decisions to
those others who know how to do!
The whole world could cease its grieving
as he fixated on his thieving
and left the running of the earth
to folks of greater moral worth,
more intellect and common sense.
(But, hopefully, not Michael Pence.)
Prompts today are “for our good,” thief, jubilee, abnegate and stress. Image by Christian Lue on Unsplash, used with permission.

Judy,
I believe that part of the reason the Republicans in Congreas stay silent on Trump’s behavior is that they don’t want Pence under any circumstances.

Sorory, Judy — if he abdicates, it would have to be to Pence!

Do you think Pence is worse?

In some ways, yes — I think he’s just as dangerous, though not as crazy!

From what I’ve read about Donald Trump, his decision to enter politics was weighed well in advance. I’m sure he aanticipated the opposition — the media gave him a good taste during the election. He’s determined and and he isn’t a quitter or he surely would have already. So, no hope with that.
Guess I don’t know enough about US politics — will have to read up on Michael Pence. But you said no one could be worse than Trump. I hope you’re right. 😉

“if (oh if)….” That would be great, but he won’t. His ego won’t allow it.
