squalid

Each passing week, Trump's wits degenerate;
he can't remember where his thoughts began.
His fixed conviction that he's doing great
sustains him ('though he doesn't have a plan).
The labor nominee he failed to vet
was pulled from confirmation amid strife.
The fifty-one votes that he couldn't get
were sympathetic to his battered wife.
The media gave Puzder zero press
a small debacle in Trump's tale of woe.
Domestic battery's a trifling mess
when ethic standards have been set so low.
A nation tired of such incompetence
is finding less to hate about Mike Pence
