I know this photo has been floating around for several weeks, but I can’t let it go. It haunts my dreams. It haunts my waking moments. It mesmerizes me. I can’t turn away, coming back to it again and again. Let us count the ways the photo above is creepy, weird, bizarre, and ridiculous.
Campaign Action
- We can debate all day whether the decor is “gauche chic” or “petty dictator chic,” but really people, it’s both.
- Donald is smiling, his son Barron is … sad and lonely way out there in the hinterlands, and Melania is working on her best Blue Steel. They are just like us!
- Credit given where credit is due—they didn’t want anyone mistaking any glimmer of “love” in this family, and they succeeded!
- I won’t lie, that gulf between parents and son breaks my heart.
- Trump had no problem taking photos with his female daughter on his lap!
- Little Barron is being prepped for the day he illegally hunts and kills big game.
- Fun fact: That’s Chris Christie dressed up as a toy lion!
- They have the kid play with toy limos. And guys, it’s important for everyone else to know that, so let’s get the toy limos into the shot!
- Trump apparently carts that throne around everywhere he goes.
- The über-rich even get their own micro breezes, targeting Melania’s dress and nothing else!
- Someone get gold leaf on that living plant, STAT!
What else do you guys see?
