The Trump Campaign Comes to a Screeching Halt!

On the afternoon of June 17, 1994, I was walking through the main terminal at LAX, going to a gate where I was boarding a flight back to New York. This was the first time I noticed the TV monitors hanging from the ceiling at every gate. The reason I became aware of the TV monitors was because there was a crowd standing at every gate watching the TV.

What was everybody watching? The white Bronco driving across Los Angeles driven by a guy named Al Cowlings, giving a ride to his good buddy, OJ.

Several hours later, around the time that my plane was somewhere between Denver and Chicago, the pilot clicked on the intercom and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to know that the chase has ended in Los Angeles and the police have arrested OJ.” The plane broke out in applause.

Somewhere I later read that as many as 95 million Americans saw at least some part of OJ’s ride through Los Angeles that day. I’d be willing to bet that more than 95 million Americans would tune into Trump’s perp walk on Tuesday if it’s shown on live TV.

I’m also willing to bet you that if television was allowed into the courtroom where Trump will be arraigned, that a great, national cheer will erupt when the judge asks Trump how he intends to plead.
