With Apologies to Portia Nelson

Trump’s Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

I.
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
It isn’t my fault.
I deny there was ever a hole, or a fall.

II.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in again.
It isn’t my fault.
Those who report on the hole, and my fall, are Lying Fake News Media.

III.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I still fall in.
Who knew that hole was there?
It still isn’t my fault.
I blame Obama.

IV.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in. Again.
The hole is a hoax, a Do-Nothing Democrat plot to undo the election.
Why aren’t the Lying Fake News Media reporting on Hillary’s emails?

V.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I still fall in.
I take no responsibility.
I’m doing an unpresidented job, why can’t you people appreciate me?

  1. “the hole is an illusion – no collusion”

    …soon…at a rally near you…& by rally obviously I mean national press briefing that has nothing to do with the hole he keeps falling in

    …I know he likes to talk about being a backup but now is not the time to try to make the executive branch of government a fully redundant system

  2. Ooo, I’ll play:

    I walk down the same street.
    There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

    Jared’s got a plan for holes. You just can’t believe how complex holes are.

  3. Which chapter is the one where Putin says there was never a hole, and I believe him at face value? Or the one where he makes fun of the guy whose wheelchair fell in a hole?

  4. NY Times coverage:

    I.
    Billionaire Donald Trump attributed his unprecedented success as an underground explorer to his “business savvy.”

    II.
    Hillary Clinton’s struggles to address lingering questions about the Clinton Foundation, Whitewater and her email server left her campaign foundering as it failed to acknowledge the value of sending her on an underground exploration with same impact as Donald Trump’s recent popular successes.

    III.
    Trump attacks “ridiculous” attempts by liberals to rename his underground explorations. Will “always online” coastal elites be able to dent the support of swing Ohio voters in real life?

    IV.
    Trump announces new underground expedition exceeding value of all others combined. While some experts question need, Trump has swayed previous doubters, including some respected academics.

    V.
    Questions arise about value of Trump’s underground explorations, but factors behind his motivations remain elusive.
