Dangling Modifiers

My mother-in-law was an English teacher who, I know, would be the first to say of Donald Trump, “Forget the spelling errors.  This man cannot speak English!” I can only imagine her response to these recent tweets.

A 115 mile long contract? Wow, that would be something Trump could accurately call an accomplishment unmatched in American history.

I don’t remember Saudi Arabia promising to help rebuild America, unless of course he is referring to Trump and Kushner branded properties.

Wasn’t it bad enough when the Supreme Court declared corporations are people.  Now Trump thinks The Fed is a human being who can’t putt.

If you don’t believe me, just ask Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal and any former Miss Teenage America.  But wouldn’t it be more accurate to call these cases pre-Presidential Harassment?

Some ≠ one blank piece of paper. Maybe he’s just practicing how to sign the blank checks he promised Turkey, Iran, Syria and Russia.

POSTSCRIPT

I did consider an alternative post titled, “Twas the Day After Christmas.”  Here’s a few excerpts.

Twas the day after Christmas, in the White House,
Only one person stirring, that bitter, orange Grouse;
….
When what to his white untanned eyes should appear,
But a border patrol with a sign that said, “FEAR!”
It came not for migrants who sought some relief,
It came for the minions who caused him such grief;
Out Tillerson, Kelly, McMaster and Mattis,
And don’t let the door knock you flat on your asses.

Then, into the oval Bob Mueller came with a sense,
To deliver his findings and vast documents.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know my stay here was dead.
He spoke not a word, but instead played a tape,
Of a hotel in Moscow which left me agape.
Then laying his finger aside of his nose,
He couldn’t help saying, “I guess your life blows.”
Then I heard him relate what was on the grapevine,
It’s not my decision, but you ought to resign.

THE END (and not a minute to soon)!

For what it’s worth.

  1. Dr. ESP:

    Have you no compassion or decency?

    This is a man – all alone in a big white house – with no one who will talk nicely to him or play games with him!

    And over the holidays no less!

    Can you imagine how walled-in he must feel?

    And everyone he’s invited over to his big white house is leaving him – all alone – at home (even his wife)!

    And the stock market has left a big lump of coal in each of his stockings!

    How can you be so cruel? (He speaks well of you!)

  2. LOVE THE VERSE ‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS . DR ESP WAS RIGHT WITH EVERY LINE IN THE VERSE. THANK YOU DE ESP.
