Further to my recent post on having two poems published in the anti-Trump What Rough Beast anthology, I am pleased to write that one of these poems, “Where Donald J. Trump has been Jumping the Shark” (about the January 6 Capitol attack), has been selected by the publisher, Culture Matters (UK), as one of their four ‘sample’ poems from the anthology that they will use in their ongoing marketing of the volume.
This is a bit of a coup – if you will excuse the pun – and an international boost for my work, so I’m appropriately humbled.
“Where Donald J. Trump has been Jumping the Shark” was first published on January 6, 2023 at The Five-Two (with thanks to editor @sogerald ). The poem also appears in my recently published collection After Spruce.
With thanks to Culture Matters editors Merryn, Mike and especially Rip, you can read the poem and three other poems from What Rough Beast here:

Former #POTUS #DonaldJTrump frequently speaks about #InsaneAsylums and #MentalInstitutions. I can see why they’re on his “mind”: he’s headed for one.
It’s just over two weeks to #Nov5 and instead of prosecuting a case, the #Republican #presidential #candidate is talking about:
#cows ( #FoxAndFriends ) (1)
and the #genitalia of the late #golfer #ArnoldPalmer ( #Latrobe #Pennsylvania ) (2)
Every time he calls #KamalaHarris a #lunatic he’s actually describing himself. It’s called #projection
Anyone who watches these videos would acknowledge that - at this critical point in the #campaign - what Trump is saying is #JustPlainNuts

Further to this disgraceful story, Politico’s Scott Waldman & Thomas Frank write in their recent article that “Trump initially refused to give California wildfire aid because it’s a blue state, ex-aide says” (1).
I repeat, for the benefit of #American readers, our experience of this kind of #politicisation of #disasters in Australia: we had a #conservative prime minister that in 2022 was faced with massive #floods and #politicised the response to them: #funding his party’s seats and states but not the other party’s seats and states (2). What happened to that prime minister is instructive: he led his party to the next #election and was soundly #defeated: recording the worst result for Australia’s #centre-right #governing parties in seventy years. The state #government that benefited most from the disaster funding also lost office.
When the election results begin to come in on Tuesday #Nov5 and the former #POTUS inevitably starts #lying about another ‘stolen election’, spare a thought for those in states affected by #Helene who #flipped their #vote #blue after Trump’s disgusting behaviour following the #hurricane: it will be these #voters, amongst many others, that he will be trying to #disenfranchise.

The former #POTUS #DonaldJTrump has made an outrageous claim that the #Democrat #Governor of #NorthCarolina, #RoyCooper, and the #Federal #Government, are “going out of their way to not help people in #Republican areas” following #HurricaneHelene (1).
Remember that every accusation is a confession. During the early period of #COVID the Republican #Trump #Administration reportedly baulked at a large-scale national plan in response to the #pandemic because the #virus seemed to initially favour #Democratic #states and was not (then) affecting Republican states (2, see also image).
Here in #Australia, we had a #conservative prime minister that in 2022 was faced with massive #floods and politicised the response to them: funding his party’s seats and states but not the other party’s seats and states (3). What happened to that prime minister is instructive: he led his party to the next #election and was soundly defeated: recording the worst result for Australia’s centre-right governing parties in seventy years.

The eloquent Dr #MaryTrump writes of her uncle, former #POTUS #DonaldJTrump, and his recent proposed “one real rough nasty day” to let police do whatever they want to alleged perpetrators, warning that under a second #Trump administration, violence would become normalised: just like it was on #January6
