Syracuse-based author and journalist compiles Donald Trump quotes into poetry

“They put in some motherf*cking work,” Milk, a former drag contestant, said of the student performers. “I didn’t realize there was going to be so many backup dancers, I didn’t realize the mega mixes, all the choreography, all the costume changes. It was really rad, I loved it.”
