"And what is important...ESPECIALLY for THIS first lady...the GLASS is from SLOVENIA!"

Saw about two minutes of a web clip of Trump at his victory luncheon.

He and Pence were each presented with etched glass punchbowls.

Trump looked like he could give a flying fuck. Right before this he was presented with framed photos. He looked at them, smirked, shrugged his shoulders, gave a feeble "two thumbs up," and went back to his seat.

When it came time for the bowls, the breathless set-up was "And what is important...ESPECIALLY for THIS first lady...the GLASS is from SLOVENIA!"

So Jackie O...excuse me, "Melania"...gave a feeble smile for the cameras, and Trump faked more enthusiasm, and I clicked away.

It's gonna be a long fucking four years.

American celebration, traditions, apple pie, etc. I can't wait to hear the excuses for not participating in egg rolls and Easter egg hunts, Independence Day, etc.
