Just a few weeks into his second term, President Trump was speaking to reporters on board Air Force One when he offered a proposal that, on its face, might send your average MSNBC viewer into catatonic shock:

“I think we should take over Washington, D.C.”

Allow me to reassure any readers with ‘In This House We Believe’ signs in their yards — the President wasn’t referring to some kind of January 6th Part 2: Electric Boogaloo situation here. There was no call-to-arms for a viking-helmeted militia, no push for breaching the Capitol Rotunda, no appointment of Big Balls as ringleader of this hostile takeover (you can relax, Scott Galloway).
