Trump Haiku: 5

[Each of these haiku is composed solely of the Donald’s own words.]
 
 
Ford Motor plans to,
because of my badgering,
cancel Mexico.
 
 

 
 
Well, everybody
is real. I mean, you just have
a lot of people.
 
 

 
 
Trophy isn’t good
enough. Unless it’s iconic
I have no interest.
 
 

 
 
We are a country
of laws. We will have a wall.
Just ask Israel.
 
 

 
 
You have this highly
neurotic woman and they
gave her all soft balls.
 
 

 
 
People have to work
really hard to get into
that upper stratum.
