Forty-Five!

The Donald has been sighted wearing a new hat as he left his Florida mansion, and it seems to be a visual site gag.  It's a red hat with "USA" in white lettering  on the front over the bill, and "45" in white on the side.  Outstanding!  It is unclear whether an official version of the hat will be offered for sale online or at Trump’s various souvenir stores.  Now most folks may assume the 45 refers to Trump being the 45th United States President, and I'm sure that is the case. 

But some, including myself, think there may be a tongue-in-check reference to America's favorite handgun cartridge, the ubiquitous 45 caliber.  That caliber is available in ACP, Long Colt, GAP and 445 Webley.  The addition of "45" on Mr. Trump's new hat is such a great double entendre that I had to comment on it.  We know Mr. Trump has a concealed carry permit, but we don't know what caliber he carries.  Is this a clue?  Brilliant!

As the shell-shocked (pun intended) and rejected left tries every nonsensical ploy like calling for vote recounts to either nullify or delegitimize - or both - Mr. Trump's historical election victory over the entrenched globalist elitists, this seemingly innocent cross reference may have a somber implication.  And that is simply, as Ted Cruz recently said, if the newly elected officials (by that I mean the GOP) fail to enact their outsider platform that got them elected, there will be torches and pitchforks in the streets in Washington, DC.

And those torches very well may illuminate weapons that use America's favorite cartridge.  Forty-five indeed!
