In the wacky world of political commentary, there’s nothing quite like a good ol’ dance party with Donald Trump and his better half, Melania. The dynamic duo was caught on camera cutting a rug at their New Year’s Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago, and it’s clear that Trump is ready to unleash a dance party for America. With moves that would make any dad proud (or cringe), he was out there grooving while Melania beamed beside him like she just won Mother of the Year at a beauty pageant. Meanwhile, the critics were likely throwing their hands up in dismay—after all, who can seriously compete with that energy?
Let’s take a moment to reminisce about the visual aspects of campaign events last year. While the Trumps were basking in the warm glow of rhythm during their New Year’s celebration, Joe and Jill Biden participated in various campaign events that were covered by mainstream media without any specific mention of pre-recorded stunts.
The visuals aside, there’s something particularly humorous about the mainstream media’s comprehensive coverage of both candidates’ campaigns without framing Trump’s presidency as if he were an undesirable dance partner at a school prom. CNN provided extensive coverage of both candidates’ campaigns and election results without projecting a vision of hope for one candidate over another.
Meanwhile, back in Trump land, our former president wasn’t just there to bust a move; he was making public statements about turning America around and making “America great again.” Sounds inspirational, right? You can just picture all the well-meaning Republicans nodding away with manicured smiles while CNN’s reporters searched for positive spins on various campaign events.
Could there be a better juxtaposition between the two camps? On one side, you have Trump dancing like nobody’s watching while dishing out a healthy dose of optimism. On the other side, both Biden and Harris supporters celebrated their respective victories with various events across America. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion—you can’t look away even when you want to.
So here’s to America taking the dance floor back; let’s see if both parties can manage a two-step or if they’ll continue to sit out the party. Who knows? If they keep it up, they might just be the punchline of the next big political joke.
