Donald Trump
now has to contend
with the fact
that he has a much higher likelihood
than Hillary Clinton
of experiencing a
legal snafu
during an inconvenient time
in that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel
has already scheduled a trial
on November 28th
for a class-action lawsuit
brought against him
by disgruntled students
of the now-defunct
(huge surprise)
Trump University
who in advance
and under expectation
of further instruction
gave his course 98-percent approval ratings
without the cloak of anonymity
and paid up to $35,000
for seminars
that wound up being
more like infomercials
and which did not deliver
the previously-promised material.
If Trump wins the presidency
may the rest of us
who are not gullible rich people
hold on to the slim hope
that he will forget to deliver
on all his campaign promises.
(And if that doesn't work
may we all remember
to duck and cover.)
