Melania Trump’s Inauguration Car Ride Just Proved What We’ve All Been Thinking For Years
You know, I’m just a regular guy living in this town, and I’ve got to say, common sense is dead. I’m scrolling through my feed and seeing all these “expert” columnists dissecting a 10-minute car ride. Melania Trump gets in the car, Michelle Obama gets in the car, and suddenly we need a psychology degree to figure out if they smiled or not? Come on.
Here’s what I saw: Two women sitting in a limousine. Melania Trump looked like she was bracing for a polar bear plunge—probably because she was about to sit through hours of speeches and pageantry. Michelle Obama looked like she’d rather be anywhere else. That’s it. That’s the whole story. But no, we have to pretend it’s a political thriller.
The real scandal is that we’re all pretending this is news. The weather was cold. The car was warm. They smiled when they had to. Use your eyes! This isn’t a coded message; it’s a cringe-worthy photo op that the media is trying to sell back to us as a soap opera. If your grandma drove you to church and didn’t laugh at your jokes, would you analyze her face for 36 hours? No. You’d say she’s tired.
Stop the madness. Save your outrage for something that matters, like why my property taxes went up again. That car ride was exactly what it looked like: two people who don’t owe us a smile being polite for a camera. We’re all smarter than this—so let’s act like it.
