How would Trump with a "P" conduct himself in 2025? Read on.

"Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries."

Some laws are mind-spinning in their ambiguity. Not that one. Arlington National Cemetery says that it "widely shared this law" with all presidential campaigns. That's nice, Arlington, but you forgot something. Donald Trump is not subject to U.S. laws. And now, it seems, neither is his campaign staff. 

I heard only the tail end of NPR's reporting yesterday on Trumpian immunity from the U.S. code of criminal conduct even when he's not in the White House. I didn't know. But Supreme Court rulings can be one of those mind-spinning things. Anyway, NPR then kindly put this tawdry Monday affair into words that show what a second Trump presidency would look like.  

"[A] cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section [of Arlington] where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60.

"When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source."

Trump spokesman Steven Cheung shot right back, as is his wont. And what he said strongly suggests something else that would come with a second Trump presidency. "An unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump's team," wrote Cheung in a statement. (Italics mine.)

You want Soviet-like actions? You won't get them from Kamala Harris. But Cheung's statement is a thumping hint. The Soviet Union locked up thousands of political prisoners in psychiatric facilities. And if another Trump regime is foisted on America, what bigger, more beautiful way to dispose of troublesome political opponents? They're clearly suffering from mental health episodes, the poor dears. They need help. 

Do I sound paranoid? Hysterical? As though I too am suffering from a breakdown? I would have said yes, had I written what I just wrote back in 2015 or '16. But those were the years. Those were the years in which nothing, no matter how ignorant or feckless or even tyrannical, became possible in America.
