Hurricane Trump Is Coming — And Washington Hasn’t Bothered to Prepare

So I just read this crazy article called Hurricane Trump Is Coming — And Washington Hasn’t Bothered to Prepare. Basically, it’s saying that the government is completely unprepared for a possible Trump win in the November election.

The author argues that there is a lot of complacency among politicians and pundits who assume that a Trump victory is unlikely. They point out that the same thing happened in 2016, but Trump still ended up winning the election. The article calls on officials to start taking the possibility of a Trump win seriously, and to start preparing for the potential fallout.

As someone who lived through the chaos of the 2016 election, I totally get where the author is coming from. I remember watching the results come in on TV and feeling absolutely shocked and terrified as it became clear that Trump was going to win. It felt like no one had seen it coming and no one had any idea what to do next.

But here’s the thing: it doesn’t actually matter who you support in the election, or whether you think a Trump win is likely or not. The fact is that we need to be prepared for the possibility of a contested result, or even a constitutional crisis. The article argues that officials need to start planning for different scenarios, and that the media needs to be more responsible in how they cover the election.

Overall, I thought this was a really interesting and important article. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day drama of the election, but it’s crucial to also think about the bigger picture and what might happen if things don’t go as planned. Whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an independent, the outcome of this election will affect us all, and we need to be ready for whatever comes our way.
