Divine Right of Kings basically. And they expect America will knuckle under.

I'd bet this will turn into a major train wreck for them.

It wouldn't matter if Rudolf Hess, himself, wrote the speech. Trump will go off script, because he can't fucking read. And when he does ad lib it, it will just be his usual nasty, demented, psychotic whiny word soup.

I need to dig out some of the background music they used for the Dracula films, so I can play it to set the mood while Fat Donnie drones through the script. One thing's for sure, it's not going to be a puppy dogs and unicorns speech; DOMINATE and DESTROY is more Bunker Boy's style.

"I happen to know, ladies and gentlemen, that this band of [protesters], this very evening, interfered with a lynch mob in the performance of its duties. It's true! See, I belong to a certain secret society. I don't believe I gotta mention its name, you know. And these boys here, they trampled all over our venerated observances and rituals...These boys desecrated a fiery cross!"

Is you is, or is you ain't my constituency?
