Four-Way Monologue on Trump's 2016 Inauguration26 total reviews
Comment from Mary Vigasin
A brilliant and fun read. You nailed the great orange one to a "T" although I do not think he would admit it after all he is a genius.
Great satire and truly ingenious writing.

Thanks for stopping by, Mary. Glad you caught this. I've spent down $ repromoting--only enough left for one or two more at basic level. I had a blast conjuring this quartet. I channeled an articulate character to speak for Trump--ultimately, I decided to let command of diction Trump monosyllabic doltishness.
It is an equal-opportunity dig--thus no one--or everyone!--can take offense. Thanks for stopping by.

You are the magic #26--ribbon on its way--thanks to you. Didn't think it was going to happen. This promo is over.
Comment from karenina
Ahhhhh-MAY-ZZZZZZZing!
Not sure what called me over here tonight (cue the Twilight Zone theme)-- but this
sharp as razors script skewers all the madcap self indulgent hypocrisy that so embodies politics!
Pilloried Hillary will remain in a permanent state of shock...right eyebrow cocked like a loaded gun... (Beware of impervious glass ceilings)
Melania, the ice princess--she who slaps the orange man's hand away... Remained in New York in defiant denial until there was no choice... Get her fashionable assets to D.C. or Ivanka would have Daddy dearest all to herself...
Bill (give the man a cigar but cross your legs) Clinton.... That guy would have never made it through four years playing George Jones to Tammy Wynette's chocolate chip cooking Mrs. Prez... Ego castration, however, will live on in my dreams. Did not pull the lever! Likely my favorite line!
The Trumpster filled the dumpster with all form of sordid marketing.... Say what you will... and you did... He took the pulse of all neck-vein distended "populace with animus" and poked the bear...
Arrogant, unscrupulous, (in short, the top of the line, direct from the factory demo model) APPRENTICE litter, er, leader...of the free world....
And oh how he must have peed his BVD's when (holy defecation material)--
In spite of every warning his radioactive complexion emitted... He won!
Cripes!
King!
Disloyal royal to all "good people on both sides."
It's history as mystery... I heard a collective gasp when the networks "called it" for "The Donald."
MAGA!
MAGA?
Minions
Are
Gullible
Always.
Strap in!
This sh#t ain't over...
Dear Santa (2022)-- All I want for Christmas

POST YOUR BRILLIANT RANT!
Glad you caught this. I've spent down $ repromoting--only enough left for one or two more at basic level. I had a blast conjuring this quartet. I channeled an articulate character to speak for Trump--ultimately, I decided to let command of diction Trump monosyllabic doltishness.

Comment from Judy Lawless
This was a hoot to read, Liz! I love what you did with all the characters, and the various innuendos. I can't imagine Donald J. Trump ever being able to say most of the words in you gave him in his "revised" speech, though. lol And as far as we know, Melanie hasn't filed for divorce yet.
Well done.

Thanks for stopping by, Judy. Glad you caught this. I've spent down $ repromoting--only enough left for one more at basic level. Indeed, I channeled an articulate character to speak for Trump--ultimately, I decided to let command of diction Trump monosyllabic doltishness.

You're welcome, Liz.
Comment from Mary Shifman
Wow! I don't even know what to say to this but of course I'll try. I think its a brilliant piece of satirical writing! At least, in other cases it would be considered satire. In this case, not so much. I have to admit that the possibility of another Trump reign scares me to death. Where is George Bush when you need him?

Comment from royowen
I must admit I gave up voting for someone I like, (which seems to be the popular reason to vote for anyone) but I'm truly amazed how that wind can change in a short period of time, I can't think of any former President in US who is generally, liked. But cursed "oh you fickle people". We can't possibly know who's worthy, liked or disliked. Beautifully writtten, blessings Roy

Comment from Heather Burroughs
I enjoyed your quartet.
There is one sentence that may be missing a word or I may not have read it correctly. In Act one: we, barely, eviction!
Thank you for sharing your work.

Darn--I can't correct that omission--"escaped" eviction--I am no longer a paying member and can't edit work. This is a repromotion--I'm using up my $$$--almost gone--my next and last will be at 52 cents.
-
You are most welcome! I completely understand. My darn autocorrect hates me and I have had others to correct my errors but I wasn?t sure if yours was an error or not.
-
I looked at the sentence--I see that I intentionally--and unwisely!--left the word "escaped" implied. Would fix it if I could.
... he barely escaped conviction--thus we, barely, [escaped] eviction! --by the skin of his you-know-what.
Comment from Jay Squires
This was a hoot--a long hoot--but a hoot to read just the same. Your take on Clinton and Trump were exceptional. What are you, a standup comedienne?
Act Two: Will Be [The "Will Be" here confused me. I thought you meant it was unfinished--act Two was.]
That said, I did, of course, vote for her. Rest assured--and I say this with clear conscience--that I did not pull the lever. [Ha-ha! You set me up for that beautifully. "Did not have sex" Did not penetrate" "Did not Inhale" "Did not pull the lever"--That was rich!]
Thanks for sharing this timely in-depth study of power politics.

Comment from estory
I think you created some great caricatures of politicians here, each one speaking in colorful language about their ambitions and what comes across is the deep ambitions of each. They all have their own specific goals, but each is ambitious and manipulative in his/her own way to get what he/she wants. The colorful personality you always infuse in the narrative really lights it up and keeps the mood light enough. you dig into everyone, so everyone can enjoy it. estory

Comment from amada
I read your with much interest this political satire, even I try to be detached of politics at this time; just trying to keep sane...Yow wrote very good characterizations of those four involved persons. You exhibit a great understanding of human nature; everyone tries to do what is best for their interests. It was a pleasure to read your work, well done.

Comment from GE Parson
Wow! what a long 'whatever this tirade' is called. I did find it interesting the way you wrote as if you were the political puppets speaking. However you left out that illegal Muslim and his woman. But, whatever [as the teenagers say] it held my attention as I read the entire every word of it. I really want to take issues with one glaring word - that one that is at the top of the ten commandments: "Thou shalt not take the Name God in vain - I didn't think that added any literary intelligence to your political humor, and also the word "effin," you scattered through out this auto biography of losers, whatever that word means - it doesn't sound like a complimentary word to call a friend.
For the record I believe Mr. Donald Trump has been God's man of the hour this past four years, and, well, we'll just have to wait a few more days to see who God votes for the next four years...it may be Himself.

Thanks for your thoughtful comments--Effin is a euphemism for F***ing; I thought it the lesser of the evils. Sorry to cause offense--hence the warnings--these guys are foul-mouthed indeed. I appreciate your not holding the blasphemy against me. Cheers. LIZ
