"If he didn’t, she’s a frump.”
“If she blabs, he’ll call his lawyer.”
“What a bozo! One no trump.”
“Thinks he’s smart to pay no taxes:
‘If you pay them, you’re a chump.’”
“He’ll give safety nets the ax.” “As

“He’ll wall off the southern border.”
“And haul Muslims to the dump!”
“He’ll show blacks what law and order

“He’ll throw Clinton in the slammer.”
“Then he’ll lift us from our slump,
helped by Putin’s blade and hammer!”
“What’s your bid now?” “Six no trump.”
