After Geoffrey Hill

“Trump castigated the ABC News journalist who asked a question about the murder [of US journalist Jamal Khashoggi], suggesting that ABC should lose its broadcasting licence, and describing Khashoggi as ‘extremely controversial’. ‘A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about. Whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen, but he knew nothing about it,’ Trump said, referring to the crown prince.”

I love myself and my money. Cash
Is easy, everywhere. Things happen.
That gentleman was controversial. Hush.
This one knew nothing. Case closed, business open.

I have learned one thing: just to look down
On folks who whine they’re scammed. Stop asking, or
You’ll lose your license. My good friend Salman
And I, meantime, celebrate my decor.
