It’s Odd…

Decorating the walls with gold filigree, lining the mantle with gold ornaments, Trump set the stage for ‘Live from the White House.’

The cabinet met, cameras rolled, around the table, somber, differential, smiling, Bondi, Hegseth, Noem lauded Trump.

Zelensky walked onto stage – it was like watching a wrestling bout, Trump, Vance pounding, Zelensky dodging. They threw Zelensky out of the ring.

Smiling, the president of South Africa sat down on stage beside Trump, lights dimmed, Trump played him a video showing long lines of white crosses – proof, Trump said, of genocide against white farmers in South Africa.

Protests erupted in Los Angeles – on stage, cameras whirring, Trump said throwing California governor Gavin Newsom in jail would be great.

It’s odd. But these days the show is what matters. And we’ve never seen a show quite like Live from the White House. Even on Reality TV.
