Donald Trump and His Billionaire-Fueled Hog Are Storming the Capitol

01/19/25

The president-elect has been taking in so much money from the broligarchs, his inauguration deserves a more appropriate name.

During Richard Nixon’s inauguration in 1969, anti-Vietnam protesters staged a series of events. As reported by Washington Area Spark,“Antiwar demonstrators planned to symbolically “In-HOG-urate” a pig as president and hold their own counter-inaugural ball on the National Mall.” And a fun time was had by all.

Now Donald Trump has his own hog farm of billionaires, who seem to be getting giddy as they prepare to suckle up to the US Treasury and drain it of as much cash as possible. He plans to have his cadre of beta porkers on display behind him at his inauguration tomorrow. This gambit must be designed to show the country that the richest men this new Gilded Age has produced are subservient to his majesty King Donald. Many of us are certain that Trump 2.0 is going to be one authoritarian nightmare after another. Now it’s up to the Republicans to prove us wrong.
