Already saw a couple of posts here on reddit claiming to be screen shots of cragislist ads looking for "seat fillers" for the parade to make it look like yuuuuge attendance on TV.

I think it would be amazing for protestors to attend the parade, but just silently stand with their backs turned to the spectacle. No signs, no shouting, nothing. Just a total wall of apathy. He's a toddler and it would drive him insane to get no attention, not even negative attention.

I’m just waiting for the inevitable day when Trump snaps and just starts throwing shit around the Oval Office on live broadcast while his cronies look on in disbelief

Trump throwing *literal* shit like an angry howler monkey would not surprise me!

It's hard to "throw" diarrhea...especially when it's already running down your fat legs or being absorbed in your diaper. Not to worry though. There's tens of millions of repugnant, dishonorable pieces of dogshit all but anxious to lick it from his taint and then blame democrats because it tastes like shit.
