Trump to shorten time

[left-of-center2012]

CNN said this morning the Trump wants to shorten the amount of time it takes for him to travel from the swearing in ceremony at the Capitol and his arrival at the White House.
Apparently he won’t be getting out of the car to walk a part of the distance as other new Presidents have done.
He just wants to get from 'point A' to 'point B'.

The reason given is that Trump is in a hurry to start making America great again.

1. He doesn't want to see protesters. nt

[etherealtruth]

14. That ... and he doesn't want to be filmed BEING protested

[metroins]

2. Target on his back

I don't think he has a bigger target than Obama, but I think him staying out of public space is a smart idea.

Although a Pence presidency is worse than Trump.

There's a lot of wackos out there.

3. Great, we'll probably have 23 hour days soon. Eom

[lostnfound]

21. My initial thought was the nuclear clock.

I'm sure it will be jumpy during the twitler years

[Blanks]

25. I hope it's just the Twitler days...

Weeks tops.

4. He knows there will be booing and

maybe eggs. Plus, he's a coward.

12. +1

[MadamPresident]

5. Remember Dimson's inauguration?

Apparently, so do they.

I hope they pelt him with eggs.

6. Hmmmmmm. He is afraid that his out-of-shape 70 year old body will get out-of-breath if

he has to walk any distance. Maybe a golf cart is in order. The guy is probably a heart attack waiting to happen.
Who do these Trump shills think they are kidding. Wow.

7. He's too lazy to walk that far.

Especially when it's not a golf course.

[ornotna]

16. I doubt he's walked a golf course

In 40 years at least.

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. And probably doesn't even drive the cart himself.

[underpants]

8. He's shorting the parade to 90 minutes because no one wants to be involved

All the local marching bands (Howard U, Dematha HS, etc.) have all said NO THANKS. They were going to try to find a band from out in the red states but that requires about $200K and not enough time to achieve. So the Trump campaign is willing to throw the money at anyone willing to do it much like offering Ambassadorships to anyone who can get A-list acts.

This is an excuse by Trump to obscure the fact that NO ONE WANTS ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM.

9. Putin will be riding him bareback.

[enough]

10. K&R for the mind blowing thread title.

I knew he was a megalomaniac, but that's quite a promise, even for him.

[arthritisR_US]

11. He doesn't like any form of exercise other than

jerking off so it's no surprise.

[madinmaryland]

13. I thought his fingers were too small to accomplish that, unless of course what he

has is a really small package.

[arthritisR_US]

15. Your statement indeed carries the answer ;)

[lpbk2713]

17. Thinks he's being paid by the hour.

He's new to this presidentin' stuff. Wants to start the clock ASAP.

[HoneyBadger]

26. He has promised to sign a lot of things on the first day and the first 100 days

What does he plan to do for the other 1362 days?

[Buns_of_Fire]

18. By then, he'll already be overdue for his afternoon nap and his binkie.

Don't want him to get cranky crankier.

It WILL pose a slight problem for those who have been diligently ripening eggs and tomatoes for the last two months, though.

27. Not sure there will be a big protest in DC

Was on the site for the Women's March. They are specific about the March being for women's rights and that it is not a protest against the President.

28. Leave it to prophecy to consistently deliver eggs to our faces.

29. I believe that everyone back then was wrong about the numbers, myself included

19. As already observed above, he is...

...likely too out of shape to walk much, and doesn't want to humiliate himself by gasping like a beached fish.

[nolabear]

22. Trump is scared to death of anyone who's not a sycophant.

He won't face the press. He only sees people by invitation. He won't walk the route. He's scared. And frankly he has good reason to be, not only physically but the threat of humiliation, which frankly should follow him like the stench of death. I hope he gets heckled every time he's in any sort of public.

[bdamomma]

23. He is not into pomp and circumstance

He is truly a sick man. I wonder if he is going to take the oath if he can say it correctly, and keep his hands down. Plus he will be out in the open he's probably scared as shit.

I don't trust him at all, maybe all that junk food and no sleep will catch up with him. It's not a very healthy lifestyle.

24. He's afraid he might actually see torches and pitchforks. n/t
