Photo-op - wonder if he'll have his upside down Bible on show.

[bluestarone]

1. He will not walk a foot

He will be riding in a vehicle. No doubt in my mind.

[FakeNoose]

18. It might be a golf cart

[forgotmylogin]

41. He can serve them three orders of French fries from a window. n/t

[twodogsbarking]

2. Good time to change the locks on The White House.

[stollen]

33. Or remove manhole covers

Make them germ-free

[Prairie Gates]

3. Be careful about that foot though

Those bone spurs may act up at any time...

[twodogsbarking]

4. Jesus take the wheel and drive him straight to hell.

[montanacowboy]

5. Is this is

Dukakis moment

[FalloutShelter]

10. If only.

He's already gotten behind the wheel of a garbage truck...
and dropped a fry basket at Micky D's.

[dweller]

6. Local restaurants report uptick

In takeout sub sandwiches …
😐


✌🏻

[Rver]

7. Is this when he gets to shoot somebody?

[stollen]

36. He's bringing a flame thrower

to force all the sewer rats out of hiding.

[slightlv]

42. or vice versa?

[twodogsbarking]

8. Gee, I hope nothing bad happens to him.

[stage left]

20. It would be a damned shame

if something did, wouldn't it?

[Ocelot II]

9. How far will he be able to waddle before his cankles swell up and he has to cut off the photo op?

And what kind of crime "patrol" fights crime when the whole area is surrounded by Secret Service agents as well as soldiers and cops? There won't be a criminal within a couple of miles; any crime that takes place in DC will happen somewhere else while all the cops and military personnel are busy enabling Trump's cosplaying a big brave soldier man.

[C_U_L8R]

11. Oh please put on a helmet and a uniform

If they can find one in your size with enough fake gold medals and ribbons

[3catwoman3]

14. A la Muammar Gaddafi?

[generalbetrayus]

15. DonOld imitate a brownish Mooselimb? NEVAH!!!

[Norrrm]

12. Probably in this vehicle built for Iraq duty.

[IronLionZion]

16. The safest place for him is under the vehicle

[Ocelot II]

17. And hope the photo has the same impact as the Dukakis tank pic.

[FakeNoose]

19. Chump doesn't have a driver's license

... so no, the only thing he can drive legally is a golf cart.

[slightlv]

43. He doesn't have a driver's license? However does he vote????

[FakeNoose]

44. He votes by mail.... duh!

[generalbetrayus]

13. Could someone please talk Orange Julius Caesar into postponing his walk until Saturday night

when the moon is full and the werewolves will be out and about?

[BeyondTheVeilJack]

31. New Moon

It's going to be a new moon (dark moon actually) on Saturday Aug 23.

[Vogon_Glory]

21. If TFG was in other parts of the world, like Florida, Rome, or Guatemala, I'd be praying for a suitably deep sinkhole

Something Carlsbad- or Mammoth Cave sized might do as well. But for our sins we won’t be that lucky.

[Drum]

22. T just wants drive-thru food.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Epstein. . . . . nt

[2naSalit]

24. Perhaps...

He'll slink away in the dark never to be seen or heard from again. Make the world safe again!

[2MuchNoise]

25. What a dick.

[IronLionZion]

26. Patrolling to the nearest McDonalds maybe

[topcelts]

27. Yahoo Der Fuehrer is going on patrol

We get to see der fuehrer in person on the streets. Will he be wearing his iron cross I wonder?

This menace to the world will eventually die and he and Dobson can sit around and discuss what a wonderful world they helped assemble together with all of our late modern heroes a la : Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Pol Pot just to name a few of the obvious. All of them Megalomaniacs*

"What doth it profit a man if he gain the world and lose his soul?"



*Megalomania: A psychological condition characterized by an exaggerated sense of self-importance, power, and wealth, often accompanied by delusions of grandeur.

[AllaN01Bear]

28. id love to see him march in formation .:) hem?

[drray23]

29. Is he gonna cosplay with Kristy Noem ?

I dont think they make bullet proof vests big enough for him to fit in.

[bucolic_frolic]

30. Yes OP stole my thoughts, Bible photo op ahead

[Nigrum Cattus]

32. Just like his McD deception

epstein
epstein
epstein

[SheltieLover]

34. This! EPSTEIN MAXWELL & MALARIA!

[Captain Zero]

37. We need people out with signage!

Pedophiles Night Out !!
Is my suggestion....

[SheltieLover]

35. Hopefully, they will deport him to cecot or gitmo

[stollen]

38. Who is he going to have to choke this time

[Mr.Bee]

39. Trump Ain't Actin' Presidential

He's Actin' Like a CELEBRITY !
Why don't you just resign and you can act like a celebrity as much as you wish!

[Justice matters.]

51. The pedofelon does not want to see the inside of a prison cell.

He wants to die before that will ever have the time to get him locked up for the rest of his conscious life.

[ClickClack]

40. "I've got spurs that jingle, jangle, and disappear as needed!"

Cankle spurs, that is.

[jmowreader]

45. Reply from the Street Gangs

WASHINGTON (Spurious News Network) -- This station has just received a communique from a group calling itself the United Gangs of DC. It is published here in its entirety.

"The United Gangs of DC is a group that speaks for every social clique in our nation's capital. Whether you are a club for whites, blacks, Latins, Asians, motorcyclists or anything else, you have a home in the United Gangs of DC.

"It has recently come to our attention that Donald Trump plans to go out on patrol with the National Guard units illegally occupying our fine city. You can expect him and his thugs to bust heads, destroy homeless people's possessions, and do many other things no social clique would ever get away with.

"The United Gangs of DC requests that all members of social cliques and anyone not affiliated with a clique who may be in our nation's capital to STAY THE FUCK OFF THE STREETS DURING THIS PATROL. If you're housed, stay the fuck home. If you're homeless, find somewhere off the streets to be while Trump's out there. If you're visiting our city, stay in your hotel. You remember that movie The Purge where everyone who didn't wanna get whacked barred themselves up in their houses until the fuckin' Purge was over? Do that.

"Not seeing any heads he can bust to prove what a fuckin' hero he is will ruin his life more than anything else we can do to him. So do that. Stay off the streets and don't give him any satisfaction."

[Quanto Magnus]

46. He's going on patrol

on the golf course....

[red dog 1]

48. He'll probably shit himself.

[Bob_in_VA]

49. Oh, LOOK!! There's Donnie ...

patrolling the streets of DC just like when he went to the Capitol with the Jan 6 "tourists".

[LudwigPastorius]

50. He isn't going to patrol shit.

They'll drive him to where a bunch guardsmen are, disgorge him from his limo, and snap a bunch of pictures of him scowling like a tough guy.

[IzzaNuDay]

54. Classical TACO move

Knowing the DC area quite well, I doubt Cheeto would ever be in the roughest DC hoods — it’s going to be a safe place. He was again talking a bunch of cow manure. Acting tough, nothing but fluff! That’s TACO!

[Deuxcents]

52. Haven't seen any videos of him patrolling..only him making speeches and ordering pizza

I checked YouTube and they all have the same thing. Maybe some people will start posting what the saw today in DC

[thought crime]

53. Another stunt. Another Performance.

The "reality" show goes on and on.

[IronLionZion]

55. He didn't walk at all. He brought them pizza and burgers

in true Trumpian style.

Trump thanks officers and National Guard troops in D.C. stop

56. I literally laughed out loud when I read that!

That's SNL skit material.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

57. Maddow Blog-After boasting about plans to patrol D.C. streets, Trump fails to follow through

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 he’d join “with the police and with the military” in the streets of DC last night?

That didn’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.
