The most disliked man in America is having a party on Friday, January 20th; there’s only one problem; no one wants to attend the soiree, unless they are a billionaire and a member of his circle of sinners. Experts who cover inaugurations and inaugural balls predict the smallest turnout in decades. Not only is the inauguration itself expected to have approximately one-half of the supporters President Obama enjoyed, there will only be three inaugural balls, and fewer of the famous Washington parties. “There is no joy in Washington, the not-so-mighty Democrats have struck out.”
Although I may not understand all of the reasons few Americans find an argument not to celebrate, I am aligned with most of them. There are likely to be as many protesters as those who support your immoral and unqualified president.
Of course Trump will continue his inability to speak the truth and claim that the crowds supporting him were “huge,” and the “bigliest ever.” He will never admit that the people’s mandate belongs to Hillary.
There are several organizations who have planned parties for the evening who will mock the illegitimate president. PETA will sponsor a party which will denounce Trump’s penchant for steaks. The Latino Coalition will have a theme at their festivities asking “is this the best of time or the worst of time for Hispanics in America.” There’s the “Dardanella: A Great Gatsby Inaugural Ball” organized by a retro organization who will take revelers back to a time when Trump did not exist.
As Trump’s approval rating began to plummet, many of the large halls available for rent in our nation’s capital remain empty. More and more Americans are beginning to realize that a Trump presidency is a sham, and that his proposals post-election are often opposed to his campaign promises. Trump is a traitor not only to our nation but to those uninformed citizens who committed an egregious error when they cast their ballots for this immoral man.
I have no idea if millions, or even hundreds of thousands will join me and refuse to watch the ruse which will be Trump’s coronation as our first fuhrer, but I will be watching NETFLIX.
