> [@Superdude](#): > > According to [this . . .](https://imgur.com/a/R7WdCuz) For some reason, despite all the very many vile things that Trump has said and done over the last years, his allusion to George Soros in today’s screed takes him to an even higher level of repulsiveness. It is an obvious attempt to show his creds to the most execrable of his followers. ---

I hope they insist, no shoes, for the mug shot. We’d get to see his real height - no lift in the shoes. Of course, no orange jumpsuit, too much camouflage. ---

In a better world, a quick hustle with a hood over his head to a waiting helicopter, a quick hop to a smaller airport with a larger Gulfstream standing by, a fast flight to Iceland, and a transfer on to a larger jet headed for a black-ops site with a 9-11 court waiting. ---

Also shooting someone on Fifth Avenue. Or was that one just hypothetical? It’s hard to keep track. And all the shady dealings with Putin. And Trump U. And Trump Organization tax frauds. With the Orange Peril, whenever any arbitrary crime comes up, it’s safest to assume that he did it, because he probably did. ---
