In Donald Trump news
people the world over
who watched the match
on broadcast or web-based TV
saw Miss USA beat Miss Japan
with a record-breaking final score
of 5 to 2
(with 4 of USA's goals
being scored in the first 16 minutes
and 1 of Japan's goals
being graciously donated
by the USA).
Oh wait
that was the Women's World Cup 2015
what-the-world-calls-football match
and Donald Trump
had nothing to do with it
or even a watered-down
and hackneyed approximation
unlike his beauty pageant
for which he has spent
half a billion dollars
suing Univision Communications
to un-pull
from airing on its Spanish-language channel
(hopefully before next Sunday)
and may do the same
for NBC
who pulled him a week
after that
(still better late than never).
Plus even Rick Perry was offended
when Trump
in unambiguous and un-retractable terms
called most Mexicans "rapists."
Now he's saying
he didn't expect
the corporate and public response
to be "quite this severe."
