A wide, painterly political cartoon shows Donald Trump seated at the head of an extremely long, lavishly set banquet table inside a grand hall resembling Mar-a-Lago, decorated for Christmas with chandeliers, garlands, and candlelight. Trump gestures toward an empty chair beside him and says in a speech bubble, “Would the First Lady care to sit over here?” Far down the table, barely visible, Melania sits alone at the opposite end and replies in a small speech bubble, “I’m good.” The vast physical distance between them emphasizes emotional separation and formality.
Some couples grow apart.
Some grow very far apart.
Politics makes for strange bedfellows but It’s hard to imagine a warm, cozy Christmas down at Mar-a-Lago this year.
