He may look a bit odd with that hairdo, but you might be right, he says some quite sensible things when you weed out the daft stuff. Well chosen tongue-in cheek words and message. Great picture. Good luck in the contest. Faye

That is rather funny, (I'm Canadian). So Trump's fame stretches far and wide, i see.
I like the poem, it meets the rules and the picture fits very well.
Good luck in the prompt vote.

This is a clever writing, but I wanted to mention that the prompt here specifies a 5-7-5 syllable senryu. This one is 7-5-7, which would probably get bounced by the judging committee. There's still about three hours left before the contest closes, if you want to change it. Good luck, Jeanie Mercer
(P.S. I see this has been changed and have changed my rating.)

    Hi Jeanie thanks for your review and I have already changed to to a 5-7-5 ( based on my first review) so hopefully it is right now but would appreciate it if you could re check for me Cheers

    I see you have changed to 5-7-5 count, and I have changed my rating to 5 stars. Glad you got this done!

Though I do detest Trump and though your senryu displays wit, you need to pay attention to the contest rules. Your senryu should be 5-7-5 and yours is 7-5-7. Should you fix it, I would be happy to change the rating.
