President Donald Trump’s other persecutors, such as Alvin Bragg, although willing to facilitate a corrupt agenda that undermines the time-honored American judicial tradition of impartiality, had enough common sense and situational awareness to do one thing - stop just short of making the 45th President of the United States into a political martyr. Enter Fani Willis, the corrupt and evidently obtuse District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, which administered a 2020 election that is apparently so pristinely run that they wouldn’t even show it off to the world with a full audit, canvass, and signature match.
Willis, rather than sticking to precedent, which has already been bad enough in the court of public opinion for the dictators on the left, couldn’t help herself. In this author’s opinion, Willis has turned the tide in America, accelerating the game into the final minute of the fourth quarter to be won or lost decisively, by forcing the 45thPresident to pose for a booking photo, or mugshot.
In 2016, the man pictured above became the first person elected U.S. President to have never held office or served as a military general, underscoring just how badly Americans were tired of business as usual. The bureaucratic administrative state has responded to that choice with seven years of perpetual conflict and an increasingly aggressive war against those speaking out against public corruption, ranging from impeding Trump’s presidency with the Russia, Russia hoax, to multiple impeachments, to the current set of proceedings surrounding Trump’s efforts to remain in office following an election so corrupt, it defied more than 130 years of electoral trends, indicators, bellwethers, and predictors, with countless and still mounting examples of manipulation down to the lowest levels of election administration.
Trump’s symbolic mugshot is likely to have the following five impacts:
I. America’s Rubicon Moment
From National Geographic:
On January 10, 49 B.C.E., General Julius Caesar entered Roman territory by crossing the Rubicon, a stream in what is now Northern Italy. In crossing the Rubicon, Caesar began a civil war that signaled the end of the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar was a very popular military and political leader who expanded the borders of the Roman Republic through what are today France, Spain, and the island of Britain. Caesar’s popularity and independence created tension between him and other elected officials in Rome. The Rubicon was a shallow river that served as a boundary between Rome and its provinces. Caesar crossed from a part of Gaul, where he was serving as governor. It was against the law to cross into Roman territory with an army, and Caesar knew this—he knew he was starting a civil war. He may have quoted one of his favorite plays when crossing the stream—Alea iacta est, the die is cast. (Romans were familiar with throwing (casting) dice as a game of chance.) The Roman civil war that followed lasted five years. It ended with Caesar being named Rome’s “dictator for life.” Years later, the Roman Republic dissolved and the Roman Empire emerged—with Caesar’s adopted son, Augustus, serving as its first emperor.
Caesar’s crossing with an Army makes me think of Trump’s advance to Fulton County from New Jersey, and once there, through the highways, intersections, and neighborhoods filled with black citizens who have been abused by the Democrat Party since that party’s inception in the 1820s. Trump knew he was going to be booked and produce what may end up being the most famous photograph of all time, and the imagery of his motorcade advancing on camera seemed like a visual record of a historic advance that would galvanize the support of the people in his defense.
While not supportive of violence or kinetic retaliation, I have no doubt that this moment and opportunity was anticipated, planned for, and will now be used in an appeal to the American people to wake up and see what this land of liberty has now become.
II. Instantly Iconic
Trump’s mugshot has a major cultural impact, much like the famous mugshots of many Civil Rights figures (some universally respected, others respected on the left).
