In case you forgot
just a reminder
that President Trump
will never treat any solemn anniversary
with the seriousness it deserves
nor find a way to take the spotlight off himself
when he does acknowledge it.
He instead started the day
with tweets about Russia
and praise of the currently morally dubious
Rudy Giuliani
and then later did a double fist pump
(not to be confused with the Obamas'
somehow Islamic terrorist-associated fist bump)
upon arriving
at a ceremony in Pennsylvania.
Looking to the near future
it is to be hoped
however fruitlessly
that Trump will finally use
one of his only superpowers
the power of misogyny
against a woman
who truly deserves it
Hurricane Florence.
