Is That All There Was? Trump Arraignment Was a 'Nothingburger'

For weeks leading up to the biggest indictment the Department of Justice

has ever conducted the drama has grown over Trump's arraignment in Miami for stealing nuclear secrets and more.

Online media and television have been busy buzzing about sensational headlines ranging from pure hyperbole to actual facts.

-The biggest trial in American history.

-No former president has ever been charged with federal felonies (37 to be precise).

-House GOP are DeFacto lawyers for Trump and are abusing their powers to defend him.

-Trump backers are going bonkers with dangerous threats

-Authorities in Miami are prepared for anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000 supporters.

-Trump's not a spy. Why is he being charged under the Espionage Act?

And so, it goes.

Trump was in the courthouse for about 25 minutes and that was it. No cameras. No audio. No transparency. Nothing. Just hundreds of reporters trying to make soup from water.

The tense leadup before the arraignment was showed by cameras covering the freeway and side streets on Donny's bigly ride to the courthouse.

For the record there wasn't 50,000 supporters there to see their cult leader. Nor was there 5,000 clamoring for a glimpse of their supreme leader. 

From what I saw there wasn't 500 supporters milling around in the yellow tape cordoned off section. I'm not entirely sure if there were 400 MAGA morons out there under the hot Miami sun. There were easily more reporters than Trump supporters.

The most interesting thing to watch was a guy (Duane Schwingel) dressed up as Uncle Sam on a hoverboard singing an ode to Trump and his minions, although I was pretty impressed by the guy carrying a pig's head on a spike soaked in blood and other liquids dripping from the dead animal's head.

As it stands, it didn't feel like a seismic shock to many Americans that follow the former president of the United States, despite being charged with stealing classified documents. That's because it doesn't matter to his cult if he's a convicted sex abuser and twice impeached president who stole nuclear documents.
