Back in August of 2018 I posted that Donald Trump would win the 2020 election. I was wrong. But I was correct in the drama he creates. Historians may have a lot to say about the Trump era, the rigged election, fake electors the storming of the Capitol. But one thing is for sure, the man knows how to create a reality show.

It is not my intention of rehashing what has been the reality of the last eight years or so. Who really wants to live life from the “golden escalator” ride to the presidency to the January 6th slide into the dark side of democracy and all the side shows in-between. As an aside, one of my favorite news clips from that January 6th day is when the crowd is trying to break through a police line in a tunneled passageway into the Capitol. I image the 300 Spartans defending that narrow coastal pass of Thermopylae against the massive Persian Army trying to break through. In the midst of the mob thronging the tunnel you can see some guy throwing a crutch at the police. I imagine if they had a kitchen sink that would have been tossed in, too. But only in America would there be a handicap accessible Beer Hall Putsch. You just cannot make this stuff up.

The one thing that Trump has given us, and this is undisputed, is riveting television. In the midst of a writers’ strike we still have those zany antics of Trump and Associates. There just does not seem to be Trump fatigue or point where the Trump reality show has jumped the shark. In many ways it just keeps getting better. It’s like CSI, it creates its own spin offs. The Trump Saga continues with the two Congressional Jameses. These two apostolic Trump followers are zealots, part of the Sadducees and Pharisees of the MAGA doctrine.

While The Trump Show has moved from the White House it is now in the GOP controlled House of Representatives. We now have The Jim Jordan Judiciary Show: Justice is Out There on Somebody’s Laptop; and Oversight is Over Right staring James Comer as the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Both are hot on the tail of the “Biden Crime Family” but Comer in particular. He has taken up the role of cleaning the White House of all sorts of criminal activity both foreign and domestic. It is a tough nut to crack with the investigation digging deep into secret and nefarious Biden Family deals from Ukraine to China.

This is right out of Mario Puzo’s The Godfather. The only difference is that this story centers around the Irish Mob led by the level headed, even-tempered Don, “Slow Joe” Biden. Don Joe started running his crime family in the shadows of the famous mob families in New York, Philadelphia and Boston–in Delaware, home to some of the most corrupt families in the world: US Bankers.

Don Joe saw a chance to take his family global when he was elected to the Senate in 1972. His dream was to become the ultimate boss of bosses: President. He took several runs but never had the muscle. But he never gave up hope. All the while he was grooming his sons to take over the “family business.”

His hopes in 2016 were dashed. And then the Trump Family struck first, hard and fast. Led by Don Don Trump they took the Democrats to the mattresses using outside muscle from the Russian mafia. Another blow to Old Slow Joe’s hopes of becoming the Boss of Bosses. Or so we thought. The Biden Family regrouped and eventually out fought the Trump family in the high desert of Arizona, in the streets of Milwaukee and woods of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. But it was a rainy night in Georgia that killed Don Don ‘s hope. He could not find the foot soldiers to flip the Georgia election. When the sky cleared it was the Biden Family that won the day.

However, the story is not over. With these new GOP backed Congressional shows the possibilities are endless. Don Don may be in the hot seat, his legal woes mounting; but his allies are striking back. So far the ratings are down but there is hope that GOP script writers, no match for the striking Hollywood writers, will come up with thrilling plot lines featuring Hunter Biden as their Breaking Bad‘s Gustavo Fring. Maybe they will garner a Network primetime slot or possibly streaming on Hulu.

But these Congressional spectacles are just the teasers for next season, which will be more like the The Valachi Papers. This will center around the trial of Trump’s chief Lieutenant, Mark Meadows, his consigliere Rudy Giuliani, and 17 other low ranking “Buttonmen” of the Trump Family that will leave Atlanta burning for ratings.

We have not had a national trial since the 1995 OJ Simpson Trial. As a country that is addicted to crime shows we have had to be content with 20 plus years of Law and Order and its spin offs: Organized Crime (and Trump’s favorite: Special Victims Unit). The OJ Trial took nearly 10 months to reach a verdict. Can we imagine how long all of the various Trump and Associates’ trials may last. And with an election in there it should make for high drama viewing. Or what TV (and news) producers would call: “Must See TV.”
