(10,246 posts)Being both a racist and a scofflaw, Trump will take the white woman's side. Naturally, the despicable POS will defend Ms. Cooper's refusal to leash her dog, claiming it's like not wanting to wear a face mask. You know, because it infringes on your "freedom!"
Heavily-armed Magats will quickly spring into action and back Trump's play. The moron horde will descend on Mayor de Blasio's office, demanding their own dogs' right to run roughshod all over the Ramble.
The Audubon Society will be accused of being a George Soros-funded front for communists and eco-terrorists. Mr. Cooper, the "black, Harvard-educated, tree-hugging, uppity birder," will be tied to Biden somehow.
And no doubt Trump will mention the Central Park Five case, insinuating Mr. Cooper could be the unknown sixth rapist from years ago. The demented asshole will demand an immediate investigation and DNA tests. Facebook ads will demand the death penalty.
