Lochte for President?
Timing is such an odd thing. In the same week, Donald Trump and Ryan Lochte expressed public regrets without actually apologizing or specifying what they did wrong. In Lochte's case, he's persisting with a story that someone who was not a police officer pointed a gun at him and demanded money. He neglects to mention what came before: a drunken Lochte and his younger swim friends were urinating on a gas station wall, committed some level of vandalism (It's not clear how far it went), and then told police they'd been "robbed". While Lochte's hair is more Guy Fieri than orange chaos and he actually does appear to be in better physical health than anyone who's ever served as President of the United States, the behavior is peculiarly Trumptastic.
TMZ had a mini-article that Ryan Locthe's home, somehow he made it home before a couple of his comrades, was being guarded by police who were keeping a 99 yard perimeter between America's second biggest medal winning swimmer and most famous public urinator and any angry mobs of outraged citizens. TMZ didn't specify whether the Charlotte taxpayers are subsidizing his protection. If so, I suspect they're doing it because Lochte had piloted a solution to North Carolina's transgender-bathroom dilemma. Given the number of cross dressers and transgender said to wander through Rio, I suspect Lochte and friends were afraid to use a gender-designated bathroom. In the meantime, I credit the police for protecting someone who basically is calling their Brazilian brother and sister officers 'liars', now that he's several thousand miles away. I also probably shouldn't comment abou thte Black LIves Matter juxtaposition of the whole thing.
I doubt that I'll be around in 24 years when Ryan Lochte runs for President, but I'd love to see how they find a way to spin his adventure in Rio. .
