I'll use it in a sentence. "Yesterday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders faced hostile, badgering questioning from a diabolic Press Corps."

The liberal plan, diabolic
To destroy Trump with words vitriolic
The one that they’d choose
Who was destined to lose
Was an overweight, shrill alcoholic

While taking Hilary’s Vitals Signs
The Nurse was puzzled by the gauge’s designs.
While two bumps in her ears is the way it should be,
Nurse Ratchet was surprised by Hilary’s THREE.
The first was normal...called “systolic”
And the nurse wrote down the number.
The second one called “Diastolic”
Was like a woman in slumber.
The third bump was so loud, it drowned out
The systolic and diastolic
It was very unique, and the nurse found out
It was Hillary’s DIABOLIC!

Rainy and 67 here, so I’m working indoors on invoices-

Hillary refuses to just shut up-
The blame game that she plays
Keeps her party in the money
In a thousand different ways

Fans and donors write checks
To hear her speeches diabolic
And watch her fall down steps
Just like a common alcoholic

As long as she and Bill control
The DNC’s money and living
She will be on her misery tour-
And our gift that keeps giving...
