The First Inaugural Address of President Ron DeSantis
By Steven Jonas
You might say: “Aren’t you getting ahead of yourself? Ron DeSantis’ First Inaugural? What? Are you kidding me? Trump is so far ahead in the polls, and more-and-more Repubs. are getting into the race for the nomination. [As is being said widely around] by muddying the waters, that is making it all the better for Trump.”
And I would reply, “no, I’m not kidding you. Some time ago, I predicted that at some point, when his legal problems got more and more intense and threatening, the he would flee the country. And now, with the latest tape-recorded revelations about what he knew about the documents he had (illegally) taken to Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, the prospect of indictment on one-or-more felony counts becomes ever more clear. Forgetting about the substance of the indictment(s), a major additional problem for Trump is that a felony indictment may well require that he surrender his passport.
If the DOJ attempted to that, the howling would be immense. But that does not necessarily mean that they wouldn’t do the lifting, especially since they would not have to have physical possession of the document. They can just invalidate it electronically. But for sure Trump thinks “paper,” and would get out with his in his possession,while the getting is good. (Of course, who knows? Trump may have more than one passport, including one or more from other countries. But I am not going to go there at this time.)
Trump has been a gambler all of his life, but in the overwhelming number of cases he has gambled with other people’s money. If he took the chance that his passport wouldn’t be lifted upon a felony indictment and stayed in-country, but if it then were picked up, he would have been gambling with his own money. And that would be some considerable sum (although no one outside of a very small circle of family, lawyers, and accountants knows exactly how much that it is. See the “Trump Flees” column for more detail on this one.).
In any case, I am predicting that a) Trump will flee and b) that for a variety of reasons DeSantis will get the nomination, and then go on to win. Obviously, I shall discuss those prospects in detail in future columns. For now, let us just say that DeSantis is running his campaign on just three letters: RRS (and no, that is neither “Road Runner Sports,” nor “Really Right Stuff,” nor “Resource Recycling Systems”). It’s “Racism, Religion, and [the wrong kinds of] Sex.” That platform (or “platform” if you will), combined with some really high level vote-rigging/election-fixing/voter-suppression (which the Repubs. are already planning to do for 2024 in considerable detail), will, in my view give DeSantis a very good chance of becoming the next U.S. President.
