There has to be a name for it...when someone is avoiding capture and

as he is running away he pulls down anything he finds along the way to slow down the people who are chasing him.


When I hear Trump's latest call to his supporters to resist the government, I visualize him running like a coward and pulling his followers by the hair, throwing them down behind him to provide him with a safe get away.

Wish someone could make a clip of this so his supporters could visualize what role he is expecting them to play.

I'm running because i'm innocent. I will never forget my reaction when I learned OJ never asked how his ex died when the police called him telling him she had died. Oops!

I know how I felt. They finally gave a minority an entitled gimme, as if to assuage their white guilt. We gained nothing from that.

where trump is and why he isn't helping them one bit. Press replay.

These people are just plain ol' fodder in rump's eyes. He doesn't care about them one iota.

Trampling on bodies as he flees, leaving devastation and destruction in his wake. And what's so sad and disturbing is that there are many who would gladly fling their bodies on to the path just to be touched by their dear leader.

is realizing he can no longer con enough money.
I believe every property with his name on it that isn't partially owned by him will drop it as soon as they're allowed to. He can afford any more new developments & no one wants his name like the did years ago
I remember when one of my friends moved to NYC many years ago. She was very proud of the fact that they were moving onto a Trump building. 30 yrs ago it was THE place to be. I joke with her about it now & she says "I bet most people living there can't WAIT for their leases to run out"

just above Columbus Circle (across from the southwestern corner of Central Park) where one of his apt building's (maybe part hotel) is. It's got a unisphere in front of it.

Anyway as I pass from it's northern to southern end I always discreetly (so any trumpest police wouldn't see me) gave it the finger with it's big Trump Tower 3-D lettering sitting on it's raised plaza area.

If he's promising pardons for all those prosecuted for his 1/6 failed coup attempt, it follows he will also pardon anyone who violently attacks government in protest of his upcoming indictment(s).

Promising his thugs immunity as inducement to commit crimes on his behalf. This can't be legal, can it?
