So. What if the other options happens? What if malignant ding-dong Trump decides to actually get booked in New York City? Then what? At the moment, it seems it’s at least possible that the whole thing will be historic, but mundane. Trump gets booked, his mugshots become iconic pictures for the ages….and that’s it.
Maybe he gives a deranged speech on his way out, but, over all, nothing of note happens. No violence. Just a tense situation that comes and goes.
But, because I love, love, love worst case scenarios, let’s imagine the absolute worst possible endgame.
The thing that comes to mind is there’s a massive crowd as Trump goes in and out of getting booked and because of the political make up of New York City, the MAGA people there to protect their MAGA Godking bump up against the native Blues of the city and, before you know, a riot breaks out that is a massive clusterfuck.
And if THAT happens and people get hurt, then, of course, the National Press will drag out what conscription riots of 1863 in NYC that turned into something akin to a race war.
I have no idea what will happen. But there is at least a greater-than-zero chance that if we don’t have a massive clusterfuck at Mar-a-Lago, we have a massive clusterfuck in NYC.
