 It is worth reading Trump\u2019s remarks in full to get a sense of how the president speaks on a day-to-day basis. At the beginning of July, Trump was asked, \u201cWhat is the next campaign promise that you plan to fulfill to the American people?\u201d He rambled on about removing regulations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I got rid of \u2013 just one I got rid of the other night, you buy a house, they have a faucet in the house, Joe, and the faucet the water doesn\u2019t come out. They have a restrictor. You can\u2019t \u2013 in areas where you have so much water they don\u2019t know what to do with it. Uh, you have a shower head the shower doesn\u2019t uh, the shower doesn\u2019t, you think it\u2019s not working. It is working. The water\u2019s dripping out and that\u2019s no good for me. I like this hair lace and [sic] \u2013 I like that hair nice and wet. Takes you \u2013 you have to stand in the shower for 20 minutes before you get the soap out of your hair. And I put a, a thing \u2013 and it sounds funny but it\u2019s really not. It\u2019s horrible. And uh, when you wash your hands, you turn on the faucet, no water comes out. You\u2019re washing whole \u2013 water barely comes out it\u2019s ridi \u2013 this was done by crazy people. And I wor \u2013 wrote it all off and got it approved in Congress so that they can\u2019t just change it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Court Painter knows how much studio resident scribe Chatterley Grandiose Preposterous Tartlet (Chat GPT) loves the challenge of transfiguring MAGAMonarch Trump’s rambling monologues into rhyming couplets in a Shakespearean<\/em> tone \u2014 ornate, dramatic, and befitting a soliloquy from a monarch vexed by plumbing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

MAGAMonarch Vexed by Plumbing <\/em>: Soliloquy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I cast aside one law but yesternight,
A trifling thing, yet cause of great despite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thou buy\u2019st a home \u2014 within, a noble tap,
But twist its neck, and water as a drip doth hap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restrictors there, where streams in bounty flow,
Yet stinted still \u2014 what madness would do so?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The showerhead doth hang with solemn grace,
Yet yields no force to cleanse the orange face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thou think\u2019st it broke \u2014 nay, ’tis by design,
A drip s0 slow as sorrow\u2019s tepid brine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will not do, for I, with princely hair,
Require a splash to wash it clean and fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To stand in steam for twenty minutes long,
The suds retreat as rinse with my dreary song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did install a piece, though some may jest,
But truly, sir, ’twas folly manifest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When hair is plunged beneath the faucet\u2019s gaze,
No water comes \u2014 or comes as dripping faze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meagre drops, as if the pipe did weep,
Not cleanse the head, but merely make it seep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These faucets forged by fools in fevered dream,
Who\u2019ve never known a proper washing stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took my sharpie, and with this wrathful pen,
Did strike the scroll and gathered up my men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Congress’ hall, I did the wrong upbraid,
And won the vote \u2014 the drip was then allayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No more shall fickle folk with soap be stuck,
For I have freed the drip from its stingy yoke.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
