Little bit of Roman history humor here:

General Mattis Crosses Potomac With 100,000 Troops; President, Senate Flee City

“The President has not been seen since early yesterday morning, but sources inside the State Department confirm that he is on a scheduled goodwill trip to Egypt, which was kept from the press for safety reasons.”

The die has been cast.

(Egypt!!!)
