No, no matter what the woke Democrat progressives dream of, Donald Trump will not descend upon Washington the way the Syrian rebels did in Damascus last week.

It is only diehard anti-Trump Democrats who dream of such a scenario.

There will be no breakdown of law and order, no gunfire in the streets, no looting of the White House, and no President Joe Biden being whisked off to Moscow or Wilmington, Del., or to other destinations unknown.

It will be a peaceful transition of power on Jan. 20 when President Trump arrives and President Joe Biden leaves.

Nor will Trump supporters grab Biden’s precious 1967 vintage Chevrolet convertible Stingray from his Wilmington garage the way Syrian rebels who deposed dictator Bashar al-Assad latched onto Assad’s numerous luxury cars.

Those cars ranged from a Lamborghini Diablo to a Ferrari F50 that were stashed in his looted Damascus palace. They would put the Stingray to shame.

Who knew Assad was a car guy?

Nor will it be the end of democracy, as the Democrats predicted in their nightmare scenario during the presidential election, an election where they mocked Trump for being Hitler.

They might have called him Bashar al-Assad as well if anyone knew who Assad was or had a name that resonated or had a ring to it.

It would not have worked if Biden or Kamala Harris said, “Donald Trump is Bashar al-Assad.”

Trump was elected. He got the job on his own. Assad was appointed. His father gave him the job.

In retrospect, Assad would have been better off had he remained as the ophthalmologist he was at the Western Eye Hospital in swinging London and married to an English girl.

That was before his father Hafez al-Assad summoned him back to Syria to become heir apparent. The elder Assad made him a field marshall.

Where Trump could compare himself to the Syrian rebels is in the releasing of prisoners that many believe were incarcerated for their political activity.

Upon capturing Damascus, the rebels freed hundreds of political prisoners, including women with children, from Assad’s feared Saydnaya prison where executions took place weekly.

So far, the U.S. Justice Department has charged 1,146 people — Trump supporters — with a variety of counts stemming from their involvement in the Jan 6 riot at the Capitol protesting the outcome of the 2020 election.

Close to 400 people have already been imprisoned stemming from the riot. Only last Friday a Connecticut man became the latest when he was sentenced to 30 months in prison after pleading guilty to resisting, assaulting and impeding a law enforcement official.

Trump as president has the power to pardon them all, or at least commute their sentences, the way Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter and 1,500 others.

And he intends to do so in a move made easier by Biden’s blanket pardon of Hunter, freeing Hunter of any crimes he may have committed in the last 10 years.

Unlike the Syrian rebels, Trump will not be smashing in any prison doors open to free the Jan. 6 prisoners but will have them walk out the front door with pardons in their hands.

Asked about pardoning those prisoners by NBC’s Kristen Welker last week, Trump said he would act very quickly to set them free. “First day. I’m looking first day. These people have been there — how long is it? Three, four years. They’ve been in there for years. And they’re in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn’t even be allowed to open.”

Asked about going after people like former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney and Sen.-elect Adam Schiff who caused him grief over Jan. 6, Trump said he would not seek retribution even though, “For what they did, honestly, they should go to jail.”

But that would be up to Pam Bondi, his nominee for attorney general, he said.

Instead of retribution, he would instead focus on “drill, baby, drill.”

“Retribution will be through success.”

We’ll see.
