47th President Poem: “Reporting from Trump Holyland 2029”, by Andres Castro

President Trump was beaming with pride as he appeared this week on major U.S. news programs and in his over two hundred chatbot assisted tweets in the last five days. He actually did it: took Disneyland apart and set up an outdoor prison filled with shipping container housing and the biggest red, white, and blue roller coaster in the world. After today’s ribbon cutting ceremony, Trump Holy Land will has opened its gates to newcomers from near and far. Blowing kisses to a gallery that included Putin, Kim Jong Un, the Wealthiest Saudi Princes, Trump seemed more
excited than the day he showed up in El Paso for the completion of his electrified, AI monitored, killer bee drone patrolled wall. What follows are a few of my favorite of his tweets and a little commentary for anyone who has been hiding from the news the last four years.

“Bunch of hacks in Congress. Could not get my third term amendment. Supreme Court no help. Cow face Sotomayor is no good.”

“ Haters! Our new U.S.A. Iron Dome Defense and Trump Holy Land does it. I am probably the best president ever. That’s right, Lincoln doesn’t even come close.”

“Donald Jr and hot first lady, Kimberly, will continue my legacy with this great Trump Holy Land. All our illegal immigrants and Palestinian refugees will have it good. Maybe too good” “What Netanyahu and his crew did was fantastic! Gaza cleared out in less than two years! Who does that? Genius. Stand-up tough guys. Of course, they needed me. We picked up a big chunk of the tab too.”

“With Corrections Corporation of America and Israel’s security people wanting to help, everyone inside Trump Holy Land walls will be safe and secure.”

“Loving Trump Holy Land. Great walls. Thick tall concrete walls. Tall and super solid. All the kids can paint on them if they want. Do that jungle graffiti they like. No problem. No Didi” “Sure, Trump Holy Land is smaller than Gaza, but 25 thousand Florida acres is enough. Can get two million in there easy. And I made a sweet deal. Paid so little.”

“What is Gaza? 140 square miles? 90 thousand acres? I figured this out. Okay, maybe a little tight. But guaranteed, every family will get their own container. Great big shipping containers. So easy to stack!”

“No free rides in Trump Holy Land. They’ll have to work. For the really good ones, daily work passes. Plenty of farm work and construction down in Florida. Plenty of hotels. We need good housekeepers.”

“Hell, I’ll bring a few to work at Mar-a-Largo!”

“Just heard my son wants to build his own Trump Holy Land! Says biggest landowners are ready to sell cheap. We won’t be cheap; we like these people.”

“I see more Trump Holy Lands popping up. How much do we own in federal land anyway? 25%? We could cut some nice little slices out of this pie. I know Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, even Pennsylvania is thinking about a Holyland.”

That last tweet was hard to believe; but sure enough, the federal government owns not 25% but approximately 28% of U.S. land. That is around 640 million acres. Below is just a partial list of major league private landowners. Yes, Trump was right about Gaza being roughly ninety thousand acres. Could make for a parking lot for one of these owners.
