Frigid for Trump's Parade [1]

Well, I got my wish. It's not going to rain on Trump's parade, but his crowds will be miniscule. I debated whether to do this diary or not, with all the ones that I've been doing. But I wanted to illuminate the fun that Donald is no longer going to have on his inauguration day. Nobody will even notice that the flags are at full staff, then, thanks to your familiar, Mike Johnson. On Trump's Chinese made Bible, the second edition had a line at the top, "the day God intervened." We can now say the same for January 20th. You can, however, still get Trump's inauguration Bible for $69.99. I wonder which of the three editions he will be using in the inauguration ceremony.

Trump says January 20th can't come fast enough. We were hoping that it would never come at all for you. Even those who opposed your victory are now somehow happy. Not much, Donald.

At least you understand that your job involves protecting the American people. First, he wants to make sure that the people protecting him from people who don't like him: law enforcement, National Guard and Secret Service, don't freeze their buns doing their job.

Then, you figure out a way to compare yourself to Ronald Reagan.

You won't have any crowds, so of course you predict a very large TV audience. I think you're going to be disappointed. At least half the country isn't going to bother. The other half are iffy at best. It's a Monday. Even people with the day off, because it's Martin Luther King Day, have better things to do. A noon time television audience is not going to make you happy. The ratings will be awful.

I wonder how many people they will allow in the Rotunda at once? I guess we should ask the January 6th rioters how many they could fit in. It's not going to be a lot. I can't find how many were at Reagan's. Or what the fire code is for the Rotunda, that says how many people are allowed to be in there at once. They probably never had to answer that question.

Capital One Arena only seats 20,000 people. It was estimated that Trump's first inauguration in 2017 had only 200,000 people, but the Capital One Arena is 1/10 of that. Where does everybody go, if they were planning to be there in the first place?

He still has to have a parade and review of the troops in the Capitol Rotunda. How's that going to work without trampling people?

Joe and Kamala will still probably show up for the inauguration, and right after that is the farewell to the president and the vice president. Probably aren't going to see a smile on Joe Biden's face.

I also wonder how the weather affects the People's March that was planned for tomorrow, the 18th. Also Reverend Al Sharpton's National Action Network March for Martin Luther King Day.

May his victory rally at Capital One Arena go just as well as the one at Madison Square Garden, and alienate the American people from him forever.

He's also scheduled to speak at each of the inaugural balls. He'll probably speak so long at the first one he never gets to the other two.

So Donald, God made you change your mind. May He do so in the future.
