Calmes: Coming soon to Washington — America’s dark ages
In victory, Teleprompter Trump mostly said the right things:
“We’re going to try to help our country heal,” he read,
eyes shifting left to right to scan prepared remarks.
“This will truly be the golden age of America.”
(Real Trump ad-libbed the “enemy camp” remarks.)
But we know Trump too well.
We are entering not a golden age but a new dark age in America.
The Constitution-respecting advisors that acted as guardrails in his first term have been banished.
The Supreme Court he packed has given presidents virtual immunity from criminal prosecution.
He’s surrounded by sycophants who’ve compiled the extremist Project 2025 agenda and a database of vetted MAGAts for federal jobs.
As president, he will escape legal accountability for the alleged federal crimes of his first term,
and likely the sentencing for 34 felony convictions in New York that he faces in just three weeks.
Unlike Trump and his supporters who never accepted Joe Biden as their president,
I will recognize Trump as mine.
And I trust Biden and Harris will be at the west front of the Capitol
— where Trump’s violent supporters first breached the building in their attempted coup
— to witness his swearing-in on Jan. 20,
despite his failure to do the same for them four years ago.
Eight years ago, it wasn’t completely nuts on the morning after election day to hope that Trump could be a president for all of us.
Fool me once … well, you know the rest
