ATTN DC RESIDENTS: TRUMP WILL BE ON PATROL TONIGHT!!!

Trump has announced that he will patrol the streets of DC tonight along with his Gestapo.

MESSAGE TO DC RESIDENTS FROM A FRIEND WHO LIVES ON CAPITOL HILL:

- Don't go outside unless it's absolutely necessary.

-- If you go anywhere, tell several friends (1) where you are going, (2) your time schedule -- leave, return, and (3) your attorney's phone number.

-- If you go out and Trump is in your neighborhood, be sure to take with you a dozen or so eggs as well as all the rotten fruit and vegetables you can find. NO ROCKS OR BRICKS!! NO MOLOTOV COCKTAILS!! NO FIREARMS!!

Based on reports I have seen, he will “patrol” the major tourist attractions and landmarks, which are not the areas of concern. Perhaps they will be treated to another Bible pump.

Though, with this fuckup of an administration and it's cartoon dipshits surrounding Trump, I can fully imagine a fully staged, Steven Seagal-esque "fight" where Trump beats up some darker-skinned folks for the camera. "They were coming right for me!"

While "Macho Man" plays in the background.

Trump would never go anywhere near those neighborhoods - which is where most of the crime is committed. Neither will his Gestapo. This whole thing is all just for show.

Remember when the president said he’d join “with the police and with the military” in the streets of D.C.? He apparently changed his mind soon after.

Remember yesterday when Trump said heâ€™d join â€œwith the police and with the militaryâ€ in the streets of DC last night?

That didnâ€™t happen.

He instead spoke for 10 minutes about grass, ballrooms, AI, and how much he hates wind power. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

With this in mind, the Republican raised plenty of eyebrows on Thursday afternoon with an unexpected announcement on a conservative radio program.

Trump: "I'm going to be going out tonight [in D.C.], I think, with the police and with the military of course."

.....As it happens, the speculation proved unnecessary. The Washington Post reported:

Some protesters brought pots, pans and spoons in their backpacks, prepared to bang them together and make their anger at Trump’s federal law enforcement surge known. ... But Trump never patrolled. Instead, he returned to the White House.

Instead of following through on his curious boast, the Republican spoke for about 10 minutes to a group of uniformed personnel outside a U.S. Park Police operations center in the city’s Anacostia neighborhood.....

Whether the federal officials, law enforcement personnel and National Guard troops on hand found all of this confusing is also unclear — but either way, those assuming Trump would follow through by going on patrol in the streets of the nation’s capital were left disappointed.
