      Yeah right. Probably cancelling it because he doesn’t want people to show up and ruin his dick-tator moment by protesting.

      Then again Diaper Don doesn’t like rain cleaning off his nasty orange makeup and getting in his rats nest.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s more afraid of an embarassingly small crowd more than protestors.

          The crowd is going to be huge, it just isn’t going to be supportive.

        That is exactly it, he is visualizing all the protestors lined up along the route.

          There’s a good chance that there will be more protesters than supporters. That would be beautiful.

          It’s a scenario that could lead to absolute disaster(for them, it would be great for us)

          National Guard, Protesters, Police, with the chance that the NG lays their arms down or side with the protesters?

          They’re shitting themselves nervous over it.

            I’d be very surprised if anyone in uniform lays down arms and sides with protestors in this country.

              There’s a glimmer of hope that they would.

                I’ve been reading stories about people growing disillusioned with Trump for almost a decade now and yet nothing ever changes.

                  There was a bit of a change on November 2020.

                    Not amongst his supporters. More people voted for him in 2020 than 2016.

                      Those who voted for Trump were fewer than those who voted for Biden.

        I believe he hasn’t showered in years; he’s cleaned with baby wipes by slaves, hence everyone saying he’s so smelly.

          He’s smelly because of having a Depends full of liquid shit at all times.

            When he finally dies, they’re gonna have to use an acetylene torch to cut the diaper(s) off (my understanding is that it became too difficult to peel the soiled diapers off so they started just stacking them on top). They’ll have to count the layers to determine how long they’ve been like that.

        Honestly, probably worried about a bunch of armed people being there possibly to exercise their oath.
