Compound . . .

https://www.netclipart.com/isee/iRJhibT_man-with-two-broken-arms/

. . . fracture

The compound was fractured
In a daring display of true bravado;
Surprising when it happened.
He had since become incommunicado.

It took so long to find him
In that god-forsaken wilderness.
The mountains reaching upward to the sky
And friends who claimed they'd help us
Only stumbling on their own duplicity.

He had us scared and running
For so many awful years;
His ruthlessness legend every place he'd been.
Nobody knew quite how to do that
Which all knew had to be done immediately.

Qualifications . . .

. . . for WHAT job exactly is this person qualified?

(from https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/05/26/trump-asks-whether-he-should-taking-insulin-despite-not-being-diabetic/5263965002/)
"I don't use insulin," Trump said. "Should I be? Huh? I never thought about it. But I know a lot of people are very badly affected, right? Unbelievable."

Super . . .

https://www.123rf.com/stock-photo/super.html

Should every man yield to the yearning unashamed
Without hypocrisy and wastefulness;
Squander the strength he’s been endowed with;
Feign superiority as tunnel vision’s all he sees? 
I’m trying to develop a superman;
Dionysus evolving into perfect humanity.

Gadding about helping each other get along
Won’t make us build the kind of man I see.
Inferiors are weak copies of betters
Printed on bad paper from old and worn-out plates now gone.

Selection, survivors mastering;
Bettering the species, irrespective of
Everything you’ve ever learned
About what’s right or wrong.

You hear the word, you’re quoting scripture that you learned
Originating from a deity.
But should that motivate your actions?
Such self-serving rewarding scheme.
Yours or mine, that’s what both seem.

Superman

. . . intelligent (and articulate) president . . .

(from https://www.merriam-webster.com/news-trend-watch/trump-there8217s-many-per-capitas-20200521)
". . . And, you know, when you say “per capita,” there’s many per capitas. It’s, like, per capita relative to what? But you can look at just about any category, and we’re really at the top, meaning positive on a per capita basis, too. They’ve done a great job.

Revealing . . .

https://twitter.com/petercook/status/1037917299779543040

. . . some facts (again)

(from https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/08/this-is-one-trumps-biggest-most-insulting-lies-yet/)

". . . Trump didn’t build the pre-coronavirus economy he hails as his own. He inherited its major trends. This is true by just about every major metric, such as job growth and the decline in the unemployment rate, both of which had been steady during the Obama years and carried over into Trump’s presidency. . . Trump, of course, regularly claims he inherited a smoldering landscape of economic wreckage and turned it into a spectacular, glittering success. But it may now become harder to get away with this nonsense. . . Meanwhile, Trump might be in a better position to argue that he will rebuild our economy if he hadn’t thrown away whatever “economic populist” cred he once enjoyed. His massive corporate tax cut lavished most of its benefits on the wealthy while doing little for working people. He and Republicans are still trying to gut the Affordable Care Act’s health-care protections for millions. . ."

(from We Were Eight Years In Power by Ta-Nehisi Coates)

". . . And so the most powerful country in the world has handed over all of its affairs - the prosperity of an entire economy, the security of some 300 million citizens, the purity of its water, the viability of its air, the safety of its food, the future of its vast system of education, the soundness of its national highways, airways, and railways, the apocalyptic potential of its nuclear arsenal - to a carnival barker who introduced the phrase "grab 'em by the pussy" into the national lexicon. It is as if the white tribe united in demonstration to say, "If a black man can be president, then any white man - no matter how fallen - can be president." And in that perverse way the democratic dreams of Jefferson and Jackson were fulfilled. . . "
