We live in the era which the textbooks of the future will refer to as Reality TV Politics. That will describe the interminable period which began June of 2015, when Donald Trump descended the escalator of his eponymously named Tower and took the rest of America down with him, until the very moment that you read this. And we’re signed up for another three and a half years of this particular prison sentence. Tonight in Washington, D.C. Trump plans to do a ride along with the local federal police that he has put in place.

Yes, it is more performative assholery. But don’t think it will stop there. Trump is predicted to do something spectacular, like arrest somebody in the streets. If you have any kind of color in your complexion, do not go out. And even if you’re white as a sheet, if you have a name that ends in a vowel and could be construed as foreign in some manner, you would do well to stay home, too. Trump will be looking for a victim.

Since you’re here, here are a couple of other memorable clips from Trump’s “secret” announcement interview this morning.

Two weeks is Trump speak for never, so don’t expect that to change any time soon.

It’s a wonderful thing when you can end wars that you’re not even aware of. Maybe Donald could become a marriage counselor or some such, ya think? Or a parole officer, especially with this valuable on the job law enforcement training he’s receiving this very day.

Seriously, if you’re in the D.C. area tonight, stay off the streets. This lunatic is looking for a good reason to arrest somebody and have something he can broadcast. Don’t let it be you. And if you’re homeless, look for someplace to hide. My God, that we’re even talking this way in America is all that you need to know that things have gone seriously awry.

  2. Trumpty won’t be anywhere near a place where actual crime might take place. I do have a fantasy of him deciding to be a man of action. Imagine them toodling along the road outside the Navy Yard. Trump sees a brown skinned guy and even if he doesn’t say it out loud thinks – let’s GET that “spic.” Agents swarm the guy who’s smart enough to immediately lay face down with arms outstretched. He tells them they are making a mistake detaining him.

    Trumpty waddles up and proclaims YOU are exactly the kind of ILLEGAL CRIMINAL we are going to rid this country of. The guy’s already had a bad night, say a date at a restaurant not going well and he just wanted to get back home and down some beers with his buddies. Then comes the fun part. They take out his wallet and his driver’s license but more importantly his Marine Corps ID reveal him to be Sgt. Daniel Vasquez-Colon. Trump SHOULD have recognized him, and even offered him a lift back to Marine Barracks 8th & I. The Sgt. has been in his current billet since April and Trump’s seen him multiple times, albeit in uniform but still.

    You see Sgt. Vasquez-Colon is the current Color Sgt. of the Marine Corps. (fun fact – it’s one of only four positions that include ‘Of the Marine Corps’ in the job title which gives you a sense of how big a deal it is.) You can count on two things once just who the guy is goes out via live feed. The live feed will be cut for “technical difficulties.” Second, and worse Trump will raise holy hell that the WHITE guy who held the job until April (the posting is for two years and non-renewable) with a BROWN guy. And despite a quite American sounding first name Velasquez-Colon is about as Hispanic as it gets. Hegseth will have him fired and sent so someplace where reporters won’t follow. Adak (a small island well out in the Aleutian chain) or Diego Garcia down under in the Indian Ocean. Beautiful place with stunning beaches but shark infested waters which means no swimming unless you have a death wish!

    For the Sgt.’s sake I hope it doesn’t actually happen but we can hope a big show will be made of arresting a non-white person with generations of American parents, grandparents etc. Preferably a lawyer or better still a judge. That would make the effup part of the news for days, perhaps weeks.
