No cars? We’ll show them!
Typical Trumpy behavior – if there’s an island that had had a ban on motorized vehicles since 1898, why, what’s there to do but go to that island with 8 SUVs and parade around in them.
Vice President Mike Pence arrived at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in an eight-vehicle motorcade Saturday, prompting cries of “sacrilege” on social media.
Cars are generally banned on the island, and that century-old ban is integral to its charm.
When President Gerald Ford visited the island in 1975 — the only sitting president to make such a visit — he and first lady Betty Ford traveled by horse-drawn carriage.
Pence, who spoke at the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference, is the first sitting vice president to visit the island. He traveled to and from the airport with a cluster of monster SUVs shipped to the island Friday night.
It was the first-ever motorcade on Mackinac .
Who but a Trumpy would want such a first-ever?
Here’s hoping this helps Trump decisively lose Michigan in 2020…
I gather Michigan is really pissed.
And seriously? Cars? When you could travel by horse-drawn carriage? That has so much whiff of royalty, I’d think the Trump administration would love it.
But they’re not into that, are they? They are into large machines that show they are men.
From the 30s to the 60s Mackinac was largely owned by the Moral Rearmament cult.
