Ah, Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago—a spectacle that makes the Macy’s parade look like a Quaker meeting. This year, the event reached new heights of absurdity with President-elect Donald Trump and his latest bromance buddy, Elon Musk, turning the soirée into a surreal variety show.
The Entrance:
Elon Musk, the man who wants to colonize Mars because Earth isn’t challenging enough, received a standing ovation upon arrival. Yes, nothing says “holiday spirit” like applauding a billionaire who’s probably plotting to replace your job with a robot.
The Entertainment:
As if the evening couldn’t get more bizarre, Trump and Musk decided to treat guests to a rendition of “God Bless America.” Because when you think of soulful duets, you naturally think of a real estate mogul and a tech tycoon. It’s like watching a karaoke night hosted by the IRS.
The Dance:
Not to be outdone, the duo later “vibed” to “YMCA,” with Trump enthusiastically pounding the table and Musk awkwardly joining in. It’s comforting to know that while the country faces myriad crises, our future leaders are perfecting their wedding reception dance moves.
The Guest List:
The evening’s roster included Sylvester Stallone, who, in a moment of profound insight, compared Trump to George Washington. Because when you think of the father of our country, you immediately draw parallels to a reality TV star with a penchant for gold-plated everything.
The Family Affair:
Trump’s family was in attendance, with Barron sitting stoically beside his father, perhaps contemplating the existential dread of being the only teenager whose dad dances worse than he does.
The Political Implications:
Musk’s omnipresence at these events has led some to dub him Trump’s “adopted son.” It’s heartwarming to see such a close bond form over shared interests like deregulation and tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.
The Culinary Delights:
And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance—a McDonald’s feast aboard Trump’s private plane, shared with Musk and RFK Jr. Because nothing says “we care about your health” like the leaders of the free world indulging in fast food that’s one step above astronaut ice cream.
The Conclusion:
In summary, this Thanksgiving gathering was a masterclass in political theater, where the lines between governance and reality TV blur into a surreal tapestry of ego and spectacle. It’s a comforting reminder that in these uncertain times, we can always count on our leaders to prioritize pageantry over policy.
