From a New York Times story by Michael C. Bender and Maggie Haberman headlined “Trump at Mar-a-Lago: Magical Thinking and a Perp-Walk Fixation”:

Donald J. Trump claims he is ready for his perp walk.

Behind closed doors at Mar-a-Lago, the former president has told friends and associates that he welcomes the idea of being paraded by the authorities before a throng of reporters and news cameras. He has even mused openly about whether he should smile for the assembled media, and he has pondered how the public would react and is said to have described the potential spectacle as a fun experience.
